St Pierre, Mont Pele in the background
After a fast trouble free sail from Dominica, I arrived in
St. Pierre, a very pretty town in a very big bay in the north of Martinique. I
anchored near a blue boat I keep seeing. Later I met the owners. Two Dutch guys
came over to me in a café and asked if I was Sonic Boom. They’re sailing from
Bonaire on a beautiful blue Beneteau 46 – Buffish, that I first saw in St.
Martin. They’re headed south like me.
Anse d'Arlet
After two nights I sailed on to Anse d’Arlet in the south, a
very pretty village with a beautiful white sand beach. I went ashore, bought a
baguette and went for a swim. I saw a huge turtle swim past Sonic Boom. I left
the next morning; I wanted to be in Rodney Bay before Friday, when it looks
like a bit of storm will pass.
My ‘pet’ gecko is still alive and well. I hadn’t seen or
heard him for weeks, but he popped up in Dominica, came into the cockpit
looking bigger and a darker colour, after about 18 months onboard.
