As you approach Martinique from the south you see Diamond Rock. This was a great asset to the British when they occupied Martinique. This incensed Napoleon because he was the Master of Europe and the British still had naval supemacy and largely controlled Caribbean waters. But mostly because his beloved Empress Josephine grew up on Martinique, the island of flowers.
Our first night on the hook was at Fort De France, Martinique. You can see the Fort Louis in the background. We arrived around 4pm, got the anchor set and we enjoyed a perfect evening.
Just thought you might want to see it's not all fun and games. This is Mark's Martinique office.
We were enjoying the evening awaiting the sunset, when a boat full of naked guys shows up. Yes, I took pictures. This is the only one I can post in good faith. Yes, he is fishing naked. They followed us for a couple days. I wondered if I should be polite and ask them over for cocktails?
Perfect end to a wonderful day in Martinique. Next we are off to St. Pierre.
See ya on the big blue watery road, Theresa
