St.Martin

Wednesday, January 12th, Polde and I sailed to Baie de Marigot on the French side of St.Martin. The bay is huge and approaching it, we were already in a shallow water. Seeing a lot of large sailboats close to the shore, we knew we could anchor near the dock and not having to dinghy a long distance to the harbour. A long stretch of vendors on the water front, ready to do business with people from cruise ships, tourist buses and sailors. Next a fruit, vegetable and spice market. And across the street among many restaurants, the pastry shop La Serafine, the busiest place in the harbor. Beside going there a few times, we walked to the Fort Louis. From it you can see both bays, the Simpson on the Dutch side and the Marigot with the lagoon between the two.
