August 7-9 Pre-Carnival Activities

We pulled into Port Louis Marina to check out facilities and have a base of operations for carnival activities. The marina quicly filled to capacity with other sailboats, many of these being cruisers we have met over the course of our trip in the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico an other countries. We spent the weekend provisioning, doing chores better performed at a dock (oil changes, refilling dive tanks) and visiting with other cruisers at the pool. Long hot showers at the bath house were a treat. Panorama, the steel band competition, was held at the national stadium on Saturday night.

The beer-opening flip flops were a hit with the crowd....
