Charming Grand Anse
Porcupine fish
Inflated porcupine fish
Another day in paradise
At sunset on May 26th we set the sails for the West wind that lasted, while we we sheltered by the island, and then East wind prevailed all the way to Grand Anse D’Arlet on the SE Martinique. Pouring rain and fog forced us to drift in front of the entrance, until there was enough visibility. It would have been easy to sail into the bay by the GPS, but we remembered many fishing pots in the area and didn’t want to get hooked on one again. Strange, we were in the same situation the first time we sailed into this bay with Amel.
We dropped the anchor and made up for the sleepless night in the quiet morning.
As you can see on the picture, this is a beautiful bay with white beach, surrounded with coral reefs.
And we are in French country. In the afternoon the small power boat anchored next to us. Young couple climbed on the bow deck, playful at first, then taking their bathing suits off and started making love. No, that was not love, but sex. Nobody in love would expose a partner to the eyes of strangers. Polde and I sunk into our stay room, until it was safe to come out.
I caught some fish again, some edible and some not. The porcupine fish I simply rolled off the deck to it’s freedom.
