November 6-12, 2017

We've been sailing up the Caribbean island chain on our way to Antigua to meet the Salty Dawg Rally. So far, we've stopped at Union Island, Mayreau, Bequia, and we are currently anchored in Saint Lucia. Saint Lucia is beautiful, and there's a great grocery store, so we did some shopping. It's fairly expensive, so we didn't stock up too much.

The biggest problem here for us is the music at night. There is a Sandals Resort right here in the bay, and other bars, that blast the music until 1 or 2 in the morning. There is no escaping it! We haven't had a good night's sleep for a couple of nights. Yeah...we are getting old.

Today, there was a guy driving around in this little jalopy boat selling fruits and vegetables. I've been looking for fresh cilantro, and it just so happened that he had a small cilantro plant that I was going to buy to grow on the boat (we love guacamole!). Unfortunately, there were ants crawling around in the dirt. He tried to clean them out for us, but I didn't want to bring those unwanted stowaways on board!

Tomorrow, on to Martinique!
