Martinique to St Lucia

The above pics are our anchorage in Martinique. Kirk noticed boats from all over the world when he went to clear customs.   We only stayed one night and then moved on as the weather was supposed to go down hill.  We hope to stop back here or near here on our way back north.  It looked like a fun place to take a break.

Off to St Lucia

This is the view in front of us.   It kept getting blacker and blacker.

This is to the left (port) side.  The sun was shining through the clouds and illuminating these little white clouds.  Behind the little white clouds the sky was dark.

Here is the sun shinning through on Diamond Rock off the south end of Martinique.

This is the view behind us, Bye Martinique.

Another view of in front of us YUK!!!

Diamond Rock off in the distance with the sun on the edge of the  storm.

Happy Kirk  NOT

Here is a video (it might take a while to load)

We had another wild ride.  We actually could have had it much worse than we did.  It was a long day as the current was against us and we had a beam sea.  At one point we had a wave break over the side of the boat and fill the cockpit with water.   Salt anyone?  It took twice as long as we thought.

Our engines did well and no real problems with the oil.  yahoo. Another Thank you God.  Also, Thank you Kirk for being so smart and doing hours of research and trying new options with our engines.  Of course I am the helper and sounding board.  We have had a great time so far in St Lucia.   We have provisioned, visited the chandlery, got laundry done and rested.  After the days of constant travel we were pooped.  I think we are both feeling better.

The weather has been really squally since we have been here.  So glad to be staying put.  Today it has rained most of the day.  We ran errands in-between squalls.
