Hey folks, I don't know whats happened to the blog but I see that the front page is now different and you can't make comments. I'm working on it but it's not going too well.




O.K as you can see we moved from Marin and went to St. Pierre on the north end of Martinique. In 1902 this little village was called the Paris of the Caribbean and the volcano St. Pelee erupted and killed 30,000 people and left 2 alive that was in there basement. In the town every one of the building has at least one wall from the original buildings. So much for your history lesson.
There wasn't that much to see so we left after one day and headed to Dominica, and on the way this 4 foot Mahi Mahi jumped on a blue Rattle Jet and at the same time one quite a bit larger hit a red one. Now it was rough as hell and all I could do was get the one closet to the boat. The one I lost ran just about all the line on the other 6/0. Well maybe next time I'll get the bigger of the 2.

O.K. folks look close at the green channel marker, it looks like a little green man with his hands on his hips. Just tell me the French don't have a since of humor when they make a marker. Here we are in Martinque at Marin ( Cul de Sac). We always stop in here because you can get anything you need to keep on going.
We left Bequia a few days ago just out of bordom. Been there don that so many times it's getting tiresome.
We had a great sail coming across and I just thought I'd show y'all what we see out the cockpit as we travel.
On the way I hooked a fine sail fish between St Lucia and Martinque, I got 6 tail walkings form him before he got off. Karen & I were both screaming and jumping up and down. O.K I was jumping up and down but Karen was excited also and realy wanted to catch it.
We are getting our Inverter/ Charger worked on. The charger has stopped working with my generator. To start with I thought it was the Genset but today we turned on the the air conditioning and it ran fine so I concluded that it was not the generator but the charger( du )
O.K. that enought info for one day and wy beer is running out and my cigars are on the boat and I'm in the bar so See Y'all Down the Road.
