Off to Martinique

We left Dominica & headed for Martinique. It was a much more comfortable trip than the one to Dominica as we had the luxury of waiting for a weather window. The 3rd day in Martinique (Fort de France harbour), we were suddenly surrounded by catamaran sailboats. They were part of a regatta. There were sailboats everywhere! At that point, we wanted to move but couldn't as there was a boat sitting directly above our anchor. The next morning they all left though and we had the bay to ourselves.
On the trip between these islands we came across a large pod of dolphins. There were 2 babies that we could see as well. They came over to play in front of the boat for about 15 min before continuing their journey. Later on, we saw two dolphins, although they were off just a ways. These were MUCH larger than the ones that we had seen earlier..
The picture is of the dolphins playing near our bows (there are several mkore pictures in the Gallery (Places folder).
