St Pierre, on the NW coast, had little to offer other than the welcome feel of solid land under our feet. Unable to find a wireless connection, I paid a restaurant owner to let me use his computer to send June an email telling her our location.
The following morning we motored 2 hours down the coast to the capital city, Fort du France.
On the mend
5/3 to 5/6 - The city is surprisingly large and modern. It even has a new 2-story shopping mall amidst blocks of small shops.
After clearing customs and exploring the downtown area we motored across the bay to an anchorage in a beautiful little bay named Anse a l'Ane, renowned for its beach and excellent, casual, beachside French restaurants. We stayed for 2 days.
On Monday, we sailed back across the bay to Fort du France and Richard generously treated the crew to dinner at a beautiful modern hotel with views of the bay.
