We are still in Martinique. We are expecting a new mattress for the boat to arrive Thurs. or Fri. Then we will prepare to head south provided the weather cooperates. We plan to skip St. Lucia since we've already been there and we do an overnight sail to Bequia. All of the islands are experiencing a draught as bad as anyone can remember for at least 25 years and St. Lucia is very hard hit with water being rationed and severe penalties with misuse by anyone. Some locals said they had been without running water for 2-3 weeks.
As you may have noticed, we did not down load any pictures. The camera gave up the ghost, I think from exposure to the harsh environment. We are looking for a replacement but may not be able to add pics till we get one in the states. I guess that means we may have to redo this area of the Windward Islands again next year instead of pushing on to the western Caribbean. It's a tough job but we are willing to suffer for our readers. Carolyn is headed up to the Post Office to mail B-day postcards while I sit here in Mango Bay restaurant/bar updating the blog and doing e-mail. Everyone have a great day.
