Moved around from Fort de France yesterday in a day of the strangest weather we've seen in the Caribbean in 5 years. Started out calm and rainy, clouds down low and almost foggy out. Decided that the weather forecast was wrong so we picked up anchor and headed for Marin. Trip down was fine weather cooperating until we were about 4 miles out of the channel leading into Marin when the sky fell. Solid wall of water, near zero visibility and 30 knot winds. This continued off and on as we slowed down and made our way in to anchor. Weather lightened up long enough for us to anchor then the clouds closed in again and it started raining and rained until 4am this morning. Temperature was down to 72 degrees when we went to bed. It is still overcast now but only a few spits of rain.
Heading in to Mango Bay for a lunch of mussels and draft beer.
