Its 4 o'clock in the morning and we are leaving for Martinique to find a safe harbour.......we made really good progress and where faster as expected. At 2 o'oclock we only had 11 miles to go as we came to the south end of Martinique. However as we came around the southside of Martinique the weather had turned really bad.....we tried to beat the weather as it was only 11 miles to go, but the wind blew against the current and the swell had turned into high mountaints..and it was not worth the risk....we had no choice but to turn around and we found a safe anchorage just a few miles back where we came from. Though we did not quite made to Le Marin in Martinique, but we found a safe anhcorage just a few miles before that. The little Bay where we are anchored to wait the weather out is called, Grande Anses d'Arlets. Its beautiful and quiet here and you would not think that there is shit weather out there. Now we are nicely tucked away from the bad weather.
