We woke up this morning swaying to our anchor in beautiful Martinique which is a french Island. The contrast when traveling from a Caribbean island to a french island is pretty amazing. These islands are only a short distance apart, however the language, architecture, food and people are worlds apart. After a relaxing morning on the boat decided to go into town before everything closed up for the afternoon hrs are usually 0800-1200 & 1500 - 1800. The restaurants open for dinner at 1900-2100. The language is a bit of a challenge but with a bit of pointing at pictures we were able to find the tourist bureau which offers free clearing in for visiting yachts. You clear in online with a computer they provide and it takes about 5 minutes, very nice. After strolling around for a bit we found a nice french cafe with wifi and a great view of the water so this is currently where we are updating, emailing and doing some banking (some tedious chores but the french wine and atmosphere is hard to beat). The people here are really friendly and helpful so once we finish here in the cafe we will do a little shopping to stock up on our wine and cheese:) Tomorrow our plan is to sail up to Portsmouth, Dominique which is about 50 miles so it will be an early night and a long day of motoring based on the light air forecast.
