Storm-stayed in Martinique

Merry Christmas from Laurie and Dawn to all of you!


Laurie and I were planning to head further north, heading towards the USVI's, but the wind has been blowing like crazy and you'd have to be crazy to go out in that. It's been over 30 knots with high seas. Instead, we have found ourselves hiking around a bit. Yesterday we walked an hour from St. Anne to Anse de Saline on the southernmost part of Martinique with Terry and Kristin from s/v Silk Pajamas and enjoyed a swim and a nice meal once we got there. Laurie of course could stay there all day because of all the beautiful bodies lying on the beaches. The French aren't much into doing laundry and wear as little as possible! Today, we did a bit of a hike up the prayer stations of the cross and caught a great view of the bay below us. Of course, that earned us another lunch out and a nice cold beer! Storm stayed...the hell here never ends!

Since we're here in Martinique waiting for the windy weather to die down, we've decide to join a group and go to a restaurant for Christmas dinner. this is how the restaurant looked today when we dropped in to check it out.
