We have had a busy couple of days in Le Marin, Martinique.
Mostly we have been getting things organized but we also spent a little time
exploring the town and catching up with the civilized world. We have
heard from Mark and he made it back to Minnesota safely, a full 100 degree
temperature change between Martinique and Minneapolis! We wish him well in the
slightly cooler temperatures! He also let us know that his trip went off
without a hitch, the most nerve wracking bit being the few minutes when Bob
could not unlock the dinghy on departure from Midwatch. 
We also have had a few little celebrations on our successful
passage including a delicious batch of cinnamon buns and a good old fashion,
American-style lunch out of hamburgers, fries and Coke. Luckily we spent an active afternoon swimming
and snorkeling so we didn’t suffer too much from the over-indulgence. We will
be moving off the $10/night mooring ball tomorrow to an anchorage in a place
called Ste. Annes, not too far from here but with infinitely cleaner water so
that the kids can swim. There is a price to being close to everything!
