Les Anses D’Arlet<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

“I think we’re done here in Les Anses D’Arlet. We’ve walked the tiny town back and forth several times; we’ve tried all the pastry varieties in the boulangerie and hiked the trail to Grande Anse D’Arlet… should we move to St. Anne tomorrow?”<\/p>\n

“We haven’t snorkeled around those rocks.”<\/p>\n

“Ah, right, let’s do that tomorrow and then move.”<\/p>\n

Tomorrow came and it brought rain. We stayed on the boat because, well, it was raining! Not that you’re going to get\u00a0more<\/em> wet if you snorkel under the rain, but hey, what’s wrong with waiting one more day until it’s sunny?<\/p>\n

Not sure what to make of this. A wheelbarrow shed in the middle of nowhere? It’s halfway in the trail to the next town, Grande Anse D’Arlet.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Sainte-Anne<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

“I think we’re done here in Sainte-Anne. We’ve walked the tiny town back and forth several times and tried all the pastry varieties in both<\/em> boulangeries. We took the bus to Le Marin, hiked the Trace des Caps<\/em> trail, and dinghied three times to Anse Caritan beach. Should we cross to St. Lucia tomorrow Monday?”<\/p>\n

“The forecast for Wednesday calls for calmer conditions: the wind is going to blow two knots less and the waves are going to be one foot smaller. Maybe we should wait.”<\/p>\n

“Oh, okay.”<\/p>\n
