Our sail to Martinique was uneventful. The seas were quite choppy. We sailed into Le Marin too late to go ashore to check in so we stayed on the boat. It was very quiet in Le Marin as far as the ocean was concerned. Martinique has very good French wine and cheeses and what is more they are cheap. So we had a hard time eating baguettes cheese and drinking wine. We went with the dinghy up a river and lost an oar. This was a costly experience. We managed to get a new one for about $ 70.
Today we sailed around the island to Ford the France. We caught a 10 kg wahoo. What a fish. It did put up a fight. Grant let it run, then pulled it in and rocky and Grant eventually pulled it up. Hooked it with the gaff hook and it is lots of nice steaks in the freezer now. It took a while to clean the boat but we are on anchor at ford the France and just finished a nice chicken and salad lunch. This weekend is carnival in Martinique and I can see the festivities starting.
