Hardships be gone!
08 December 2009
Well, some people wanted to know about the hardships. In the spectrum of difficulties, of course we have none. Living on a boat that is being equipped for a more pleasant journey is the worst of it. I've attached some photos to illustrate.
Right now I am at a fuel dock excited to have access to the internet. It is becoming more challenging as we are anchoring out and not near a dock.
Our last adventure here was our hike on Pigeon Island. They have an old fort there (Fort Rodney:) St. Lucia was an important island for the French, then the English, then the French, then the English, (switched 14 times!) Now it is independent but the French influence seems to have lasted because the local language has a French base to it.
We're ready for more French - as we're off to Martinique tomorrow- our first island to island passage! It should take us about five hours. We're all ready to move on from St. Lucia.
