Grenada to Martinique

Left Grenada headed for Martinique. It took us 3 days with 2 stops, one at Bequia and the second at Marigot Bay, St Lucia (our favorite bay in the Caribbean). Great wind so we sailed the whole way, everything worked perfectly on Bozo Cinq. Along the way we saw 2 pods of whales, porpoises swimming at our bow (below) and the most perfect rainbow we have ever seen. All of which are lucky signs in our book.
The trip couldn't have have been smoother. We arrived in Martinique on 1/23 around noon and we are settled in at Le Marin Marina. On Monday we have the boat pulled to have the bottom painted and props and zincs checked. That should take 4 days so we'll stay at a small apartment near the marina.
Captain Bob our friend who sailed across the Atlantic with us is flying in to make the trip from Martinique to the BVI's with us. We are very excited to see him again. He has become a great friend and we love sailing with him we always learn from him.
