Martinique - Le Marin

For cacti lovers

There is no easy way from Grand Anse to Le Marin. We knew we couldn’t sail there, we hoped to at least motor sail. We ended just motoring with the thought, that it is only a short distance. Le Marin, the Sailor, the name well deserved, situated on S Martinique, is heaven for sailors in need of supplies. Any supplies, from equipment to wines. Entry is painless, computerized and free.

Last year we toured the island with our ‘LAIMA’ friends Beni, Rick and Buddy. We enjoyed most the spectacular views on E side of the island, the wind pushing the sea into the rocks and beaches, making it impossible for boats to sail close to the shore or anchore there. And yet, fishermen in their small boats are daily riding through the tidal waves into the open sea.
