Francis left Barbados on E Galois and sailed with Baron Rouge to Bequia while Claire was back in Oak Ridge for a check up. John's brother who had sailed with them across the Atlantic helped Francis sail E. Galois

In Bequia Harbor the day before Claire came back. Claire is back and we leave tomorow with Baron Rouge and Nova. Our first stop is at Cumberland Bay on St Vincent. The Pitons on St Lucia.

We stop at Marigot on St Lucia and find place to ancor in the inside harbor. This arial view of Marigot shows how well protected is the inner harbor. Our first stop in Martinique was at the Petite Anse d'Arlet. Them we anchored in L'Anse à Mitan, right across from Fort-de France. We rented a car and one day toured the island with Francine and John. Here we are hicking Mont Pelé.

The next day we visited some other parts of the island with Espen and Ulrika. In l'Anse à Mitan we saw the Bizots in their new boat: Motu Nui, we had wintered next to them in Cannes, four years earlier. We say good bye to Espen and Ulrika aboard their Beneteau "Kwa Eri", as we leave l'Anse à Mitan. They had decided that the Carribean was not for them and would return to Sweden via the Pacific. Achored at St Pierre with a rare view of Mont Pelé, usually hidden by clouds.

The last day of the Carnival in St. Pierre. Our next stop was at Les Saintes, but North of Dominica we rather good winds!! The landing strip at Les Saintes is just between the two hills. The sunset from the anchorage at Point-à-Pitre, Guadaloupe.

"Jolisa" was also anchored at Pointe-à-Pitre. So with Nicole and Jean-Claude we rented a car and toured the Guadaloupe. Here we are at the Pointe des Chateaux. After stops in Antigua and the Virgin Islands we headed for Culebra. This sailboat did not make it. A sunset at Playa de Salinas on the South coast of Puerto Rico. A sunrise at Playa de Salinas.

Sunset from the dinghy dock at Bocqueron, Puerto Rico. Anchored in the lagoon at Mona Island between Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic. A lot of campers on Mona Island. From Mona Island we headed for La Ramona on the South-east tip of the Dominican Republic.

Our stay in La Ramona was not too pleasant with the police requesting bribes!! Our next stop was in the lagoon at Boca Chica. We went to the dinghy dock of a marina that was owned by a Canadian: Gilles Dubuc. After Francis helped him with his laptop, he invited to tie up for free at the marina. We decided not to stop in Haiti and from Boca Chica we headed straight for Jamaica.
