Oria/Cuba 2001 - Oria - Martinique


See also my Cuba 2000 page

We sailed from Soufrière to Martinique in one day, anchoring at Les-Anses-d'Arlet, a quiet little fishing village just south of Fort-de-France. The next morning we continued on to the city where Steve and I had to catch a plane to Cuba. Boris stayed on the boat another day before returning to Switzerland.
