So off we went to sail to Rodney Bay, St. Lucia. It's a one overnight past Dominica and Martinque (we have toured both those islands before) so we decided to skip them. We had a great sail adventurely once we got over by the islands and sailed all night to St. Lucia.
St. Lucia is a huge harbor where there are about 40 boats awaiting with us to go south. The harbor is beautiful with beaches and resorts and nice marinas etc. Very civilized with too many tourists, even in off season. The first to greet us with Gregory with is produce boat. What a sight. We remembered him from 5 years ago. Some things just don't change. (see picture)

We met up with more South Africans. We are beginning to think, everyone has left S. Africa. They really are a lot of fun, although half the time you can't understand them. They say it is a Dutch accent but it sure does sound English, almost Australian to me. The next day here comes our other S. African friends that we knew from Antiqua so we are now surrounded.
