Time to move onwards and upwards to St. Martin via Union Island, Bequia (where we found our little dog, Bequi, nearly six years ago), St. Lucia and Martinique where we learned that the weather was not going to be conducive to travelling north so we holed up there for a week enjoying the best that France has to offer....great coffee, pastries, wine, oh it was hard!!
When Mt.Pelee, in Martinique, erupted in 1902 the fireball created killed 30,000 inhabitants. Smoke blackened evidence of the disaster is still visible in many of the buildings.
Then on to Dominica, Guadeloupe, Antigua, Barbuda finally arriving in St. Martin after a non too pleasant overnight crossing.
The advantage of leaving Guadeloupe before sunrise.......
