To St Pierre

Bernard le Duc

Dinghy trip to the bakery yielded fresh pastries for breakfast, and then we headed out for the north end of Martinique. Initially in the bay south of Fort de France we reached along in 18kts of wind but as we rounded the headland and continued up the coast the wind got progressively lighter. We passed the sailing school in Schoelcher which was running Opti and Laser races. Finally we gave up on the wind and motored the second half of the trip. Arriving in St Pierre, we calibrated the compass which had been giving strange readings. Then we picked up one of the many mooring balls available.
