Collecting grapefriut with a farmer and May the donkey



The little island of Petit Martinique was as far south as we ventured before turning north again to make Antigua before Louise and Garry arrive for race week (whoo hooo), one of the biggest yachting event in the Caribbean which will undoubtedly will be splendidly lavish and pandemonium at the same time. Carl and Tanya are considering taking Helen Vistoria in the classics race and are sailing north with us. They have showed us some of there favoured anchorages on the way including the steep jungle cliffs of Chateau Belair on St Vincent and the ship port of Veiux Fort on St Lucia for some more kite surfing. Currently we are in Marigot bay, getting some free wireless internet on the boat. The boat boys here are like hungry canines and bump up to the boat several times a day offering palm leaf hats, bread, rubbish collection, bananas etc. Technically one could stay onboard permanently.
