Apr. 5, 2008 - A POSTCARD FROM ST LUCIA

Like the postcard?  Sort of says it all, for some reason this absolutely beautiful spot suffers from an irritating ground swell particularly every twelve hours as the tide changes and strangely no mention in the pilot book. Still it was worth it for a few days. Did some great diving and partly scrubbed her bottom (the boat).  You can get to the top of the Piton but apparently have to be a bit of a mountaineer so - we didn't. However we have now scuttled back to the lagoon at Marigot Bay for some sleep.  (Troutbridge - you are not to post a comment about catamarans!!)  Also Fi and I have voted the bar here 'the best so far in the Caribbean' so might just pop ashore for a beer or three tonight.

Off to St Vincent to see the boat boys on Monday then down to Bequia to start investigating the Grenadines.
