After a peaceful morning we set out N for St Pierre.  Motored to entrance of bay to charge batteries then set sails and had perfect reach north on calm seas. Saw flying fish and a large pod of dolphins (Ellie’s first in the wild). Made great time until winds faltered around Le Carbet. Motor sailed and eventually motored last few miles to St Pierre. Moored at Rade de St Pierre (helpful captainerie on Ch 9) assisted. Explored waterfront with Ellie and then headed into town with Addie to pay for mooring (15.66!) and found great little cafe and shop (Creole Arts). Addie and I snorkeled on La Tayana mermaid sculpture. Also saw GIAnt ship anchor for ship lost in eruption of My Pelée in 1902. Cool fish, although had to dive down to see most. Saw a green sea snake on the bottom). Restaurants were closed for dinner because of holiday so we enjoyed dinner on board and a quiet night of music and cards.
