After ten days in St Lucia's Rodney Bay we head south toward the capitol city of Castries. On entering the harbor we are immediately aware that there were no other cruising boats. We anchored in the inner harbor and had lunch here. The music was blasting from several restaurants and a cruise ship was disgorging hundreds of passengers to shop in the small downtown district
Searching our trusty cruising guide we discovered that only a couple miles south there was Marigot Bay of song and movie fame.
Marigot a small and tidy bay is home to a fleet of charter boats and a place where most cruisers stop because of the wonderful bakery to be found there. If you have not guessed by now, yes we cruisers are a floating hoard driven by our stomachs. As we descended on the bakery with 3 children in the lead the other patrons stepped back. Chocolate croissants were to die for and the kids were cajoled into going in for seconds.
