Sailing Martinique St Anne to Anse d'Arlet S6Ep7

[@JohnCBurzynski]

You honesty about the “hike” was refreshing.

[@Funonholiday]

Ha! That trail just wouldn't quit!

[@mikehygj9221]

Really nice to have the wind on your back and fair seas! I remember some of the things on French islands were the bakeries,,, fresh croissants,,,, OWG some amazing. And the fresh baguettes made the best subs ever

[@Funonholiday]

Definitely! My waist line can attest to how much I've enjoying the baguettes!

Cool sailing and nice view of diamond rock.. or known as HMS Diomond. It was dubbed a ship in the British navy. There was a garrison on English soldiers with cannon batteries. It was vital to the English as they could fire on the French navy passing by. It was well defended and hard to land on. Martinique looks spectacular.

[@Funonholiday]

Oh wow! Cool info!

[@scottc5223]

Thanks I was wondering about the history of that rock when they sailed by.

@@Funonholiday And it does look like Darth Vader's helmet! 😀

Thank you , that was a really nice day for a sail , 7 knots flat water . John

[@Funonholiday]

Yes! Not a lot of days where we are going the right direction! Wonderful sail

[@andrewbryant324]

Great video! We're the same way, hiking around St. Croix, we mumble under our breath about people where they shouldn't be in flip flops and tank tops. Then we get karma when we're not thinking.

[@Funonholiday]

Definitely! We're usually ultra prepared. Caught off guard by this one.

[@journeymanadventure]

Ahhh yes the old shortcut track, I've been on many of those but they do tend to be the most memorable..... Once you recover . How many dollars do people spend and how many years sailing do we do to get that dream run. 🏴‍☠️🥃

[@Funonholiday]

Way too much and way too many. Wonder where we'd end up if we just sailed down wind every time!?

[@scottc5223]

Who did you have to bribe to get the church bells to ring as you pulled into Anse d'Arlet? 😀 It looks like a very quaint little community. By the way, Janine made salmon last night and marinated it in a coconut sauce all day and then poured some more of the sauce over the top upon serving. Janine told me she had "Lindyfied" it!!

[@Funonholiday]

Ha! Church bells are always ringing in these French islands. It's kinda neat! That Lindyfied salmon sounds amazing!

[@annafraley5388]

I was saying during that hike up through the Rocks, that you usually do that, and most likely had rubber toed KEENS on, Just then you showed the 🩴 flip flops 🩴, I’m like “Oh No” you didn’t do that… nice over there though… Honey, go get the boat and anchor it in This Bay…!! 😎👍👌

[@Funonholiday]

Lololol! Definitely not our norm. But it was a fun adventure no none the less :)

[@dtrguy2707]

Zach are you wearing a VHF radio when you go ashore? Oh and nice hiking shoes 😂

[@Funonholiday]

Yep, that's a handheld VHF that I carry mostly for safety in the dinghy. Fits in a pocket on my shoulder bag, so I have it on shore too but it's usually not on. Those flip flops definitely were over matched!

[@mikehygj9221]

And of course the cheese

[@Funonholiday]

So much yummy cheese in the French islands!
