This is a quiet and peaceful place and we have two internet spots to go to. They have small stores here, like we had them long ago, it looks like a mess, but they have everything! We went to look for a new crew member, a little ducky, called Canard Marie, who is guarding the back side of the boat when we are on anchor. In that small store we were explaining for a long time what we want. Then she went to some corner and did some intensive digging and yes! She came back with a blow up duck. We then thought let’s try some clothespins (we also had no clue what the French word could be) and after some hands and feet movie like explanation, she went to another corner, digging and Yes! We have new clothespins. Really great experience. The store lady also had a lot of fun and was really happy to be able to help us.
We find a lot of European food on the different islands and are enjoying raclette cheese and old gouda, Dutch cookies and Swiss chocolate.
We intend to go to Dominica tomorrow, it will be a wild ride, but is only 16 miles, the next better weather would perhaps be in the weekend, but we want to be in St. Lucia before Tom and his family are coming, so we will take the waves tomorrow and will perhaps take the other weather window to go to Martinique. I am also thinking that we should perhaps do another season here, there is still much more to see here, but that is just a thought that’s swirling in my mind.
Au revoir et a bientot, Ria
Nice duck! I could go for some raclette cheese, too.
