Long sail today from Soufrierre, St Lucia to St Pierre, Martinique. For the first 40 minutes we were in the wind shadow of St Lucia and had to motor initially. We then caught the wind and sailed most of the way. We were caught in a couple of squalls and had wind speeds up in the mid 30s.
We arrived at St Pierre about 4:30. I went ashore immediately to check in. The customs is part of a restaurant which I found to be closed between 3pm and 6pm so I hope I can check in later. We’ve decided to all eat ashore tonight. We understand the strike is over so things should be open. Indeed, the supermarket was open so I was able to acquire 3 bottles of cheap French plonk.
