This update will make more sense if you back up and read the previous five first, from May 20th on. (Continued...)

We made it to Grand Ilet early that afternoon and spent the rest of Saturday and Sunday with the Byatt family on L'Aventura. We also met other friends of theirs, a French Canadian couple, last name Tremblay, wife's name Michelle. Michelle Tremblay is my maiden name!!! They are from Quebec (as was my father), where Tremblay is like Smith or Jones in the U.S.  (Continued...)

After we got settled into a slip, we learned that the power pole we were looking at did not work, and our power cord was not long enough to reach all the way to the next available pole. We also learned that, despite their add in the cruising guide, they did not have internet access available in the marina. We would have to go to a nearby restaurant to get that. Since it was just about dark, we did not want to move the boat to another slip that night.  (Continued...)
