We were up early this morning (4am) to drop our guests ashore for their taxi to the airport. They didn’t have to wait long so at least that part of their journey went well. Having got up neither Helen nor I could go back to sleep so we’re feeling a little tired.
Today has been all shopping and provisioning. We first took a bus to the Galleria Mall outside of Fort-de-France. It very much felt like being back in the USA. We had a list of things to look for. We walked all around the mall and then all around the adjacent area. In the end, we did manage to find a network cable for a reasonable price in a Home Depot like store but nothing else on our list was to be found.
This afternoon we’ve made a couple of trips to the local supermarket to load up on what’s cheap here : cheese, beer and wine. We have quite a lot now on the boat which should last 2-3 months if we’re sensible.
Tonight we’re going to relax, watch a bit of TV and probably go to sleep early. Tomorrow morning we’re off to Grand Anse d’Arlet where we’ll stay a day before heading of to St Lucia on Monday. Plan still remains to stay in Rodney Bay for a few days and do some boat chores and our taxes (yach). Then we’ll head down the coast and see some of the places we recently passed by.
