April 29, 2014 Brief temporary update: we're moving a little faster now, because we are scheduled to haul Taiga out for hurricane season storage in Trinidad on May 20, now three weeks away. So as of right now, we're sitting in a nice seaside bar in Rodney Bay, St. Lucia, catching up on emails. Since our last post, we sailed to the island of Dominica and spent a few days in the bay in Portsmouth, taking a fine hike on our own up a small river one day and also taking a taxi tour of the island with a guide and two other cruiser couples another day. Then we sailed to St. Pierre, Martinique and spent two days, one of which we hiked up a long steep road to the DePaz rum distillery for a tour and tasting. Scott, brace yourself, we're bringing you a bottle of their best....if we don't make planter's punch out of it first. Today we sailed 42 miles to Rodney Bay. Once again, the forecast was for 15 knots of wind and we never saw less than 21 all day, and some fine, rolling seas, too. We checked in and out with Customs and Immigration this afternoon. Tomorrow we'll come in for fuel then sail to the south end of this island to Vieux Fort to spend a night, then Thursday we'll sail for Bequia, part of St. Vincent and the Grenadines. More later, with pictures. We've done several dives and need to edit photos before posting.
