We disconnected from the mooring this green day in a fabulously verdant spot here at Marigot Bay. We are having a very laid back, non-alcoholic version of St. Patty’s Day! Hope everybody is celebrating the luck of the Irish, in your green way!

We only have a short distance to go before we arrive at Rodney Bay to clear out of St. Lucia.

We successfully visited Pigeon Island and Barbara, the owner of Jam de Bois and we met Barbara and Bob, SV Crusader, Eunice and Derek of Nottingham and Alice and Alyn on SV Moody Blue there! Jam de Bois is an artsy restaurant and bar, tucked into the end of Pigeon Island, in the park that was once the home of Josset Legh. Very special woman.

We got a visit from Gregory the veggie vendor, pictured here who was very entertaining and nostalgic from 2 years ago and we managed to lighten his boat by buying lots of his delectable wares grown right here on island, including the thing he called a hybrid, mango and melon...darn thing never got ripe!

I got a haircut from Collette, after eavesdropping on April and Deb, which is our radio entertainment should we find the time to get bored...NOT! April giggled when I called to say I was listening, ‘because everybody does it’ she exclaimed.

We spotted our friends on the gaff schooner, Rebecca, heading for Antigua’s Classic Regatta and got invited to tea, so properly English! We’re moving right along with Martintique in our sights, literally, and the spot we plan to drop the hook next!

The now famous St. Lucia Jazz Fest in May is going to have to proceed without us however will they?
