We were planning to spend a couple more weeks in Martinique before heading north but weather (wind) rules. We have an ideal wind tomorrow then two weeks of light and variable conditions so it in time to go to avoid a long motor.

Before setting out we had a wonderful dive on the north side of Petite Anse d'Arlet. These two shots of an octopus were taken only about thirty seconds apart. Basically before I annoyed him and after. I generally take great care not to disturb the fauna but getting a rise out of an octopus is to good to miss - sorry....

Tomorrow we will head up to St Pierre to clear out the do a 24hr run up to Monserrat. There is still some uncertainty but we should be home at the beginning of May. The idea is a little strange give what has happened while we have been away.
