December 27 St Pierre, Martinique

We went on around the corner of Martinique a bit further to St Pierre which we had heard was a fun and funky little village. Back in the day, St Pierre was going to be the capital of Martinique until the volcano erupted and decimated the town. We anchored for the afternoon and decided to explore a bit in the AM.

St Pierre has a nice Frenchy flavor to it. We wandered the town, hit a cafe for some brief internet and went to the grocery store for a few bits. We returned to the boat to further contemplate our next move.

Martinique has been fun but we find ourselves anxious to go. It feels crowded, too much like being in cities and the language barrier is frustrating. Plus we want to move on to Isle de Saintes, Guadaloupe and the much anticipated Antigua. It doesn't take long to reach a decision. We decide to make the night run to Isle de Saintes this evening at 5pm. Securing the boat and naps ensue....
