A slow but very pleasant sail has us now moored outside of Souffriere right by the world famous “Pitons”. We’re staying here for two nights before heading back to Martinique. We’ll probably swim/snorkel around the boat before heading into town this afternoon to check things out. We’ll probably go for a walk in the morning and see the local sights.

Out in Rodney Bay (updated)
Yesterday evening we dined in pairs. Helen and I walked about a couple of miles around the harbour to Razmataz, the Indian Restaurant, which was about 200 yards away from the boat as the crow flies. The food was very good but not quite up to what you can get in London, England.
This morning we did some more shopping and I finally managed to find a place to supply some distilled water – I’ve been searching for a while.
We’ve now left the marina and are anchored outside by Pigeon Island. Jim and Bob have climbed one of the hills while the rest of us swam. In reverse, this afternoon the four swimmers will be climbing the hills on the island this afternoon.
I haven’t been taking too many pictures recently but here’s a few that I’ve not shared recently.
INSERT_MAP UPDATE: We’ve climbed the two hills on Pigeon Island and enjoyed some very pleasant views. Helen and I dinghied round to where we’d seen another Lagoon 420 (Where II) earlier but she’d left. Hopefully we’ll catch up with her later in the season. The pics have been updated. Tonight it is barbecued chicken.
Tomorrow our plan is to sail to Souffriere where the very picturesque “Pitons” can be found. We’ll stay there for the day and evening.

Rodney Bay, St Lucia
We’re safe and sound in Rodney Bay St Lucia. As the slips only cost $40 per night we’ve decided to stay one night in the marina so we can all do our separate things.
Still no internet so blogging via SSB
