The adventure may be keeping away from Paris Couture which to be honest isn't at
its best on the our yachts. There are some fantastic local souvenirs at the local markets as
well as some great restaurants and bars.
This is a very different port of call.
Day 4 -
Wednesday
7:30 a.m. - Depart Martinique
12:30 p.m. - Arrive Soufriere, St Lucia
ADVENTURE TIP - We will be anchored in the picturesque village of
Soufriere just below the Pitons If you are looking for a breathtaking experience in St Lucia then
look no further than the twin 2000 ft high Pitons.
The Pitons are two mountains, Gros Piton and Petite Piton.
The Pitons stand tall right in front of the anchorage. Guides will take you on this magical trek
into a tropical paradise. The trail is well defined and is suitable for those of average fitness.
The vegetation covered slopes of the taller, but less severe Gros Piton has a trail to the summit,
accessed through the village of Fond Gens Libre. If all of this volcanic structure hiking is
proving too much then just go half way to the Dashene Restaurant and enjoy the views.
Day 5 -
Thursday
7:30 a.m. - Depart St Lucia
11:30 a.m.- Arrive St Vincent - Spend the rest of the day and night in St Vincent.
ADVENTURE TIP - Moored on one of the small bays such as Wallilabou on the
rugged North Eastern side of St Vincent we are in the heart of rural and unspoilt St Vincent. It
also happens to be the spot where Pirates of the Caribbean was filmed in 2003. Take a hike 3000 ft
up the Soufriere Volcano. It is a tough hike taking in farmland, rainforest, mountain forest and
then scrub at the top but for the daring peering into the mouth of the volcano is a must. Failing
that enjoy some great food and hospitality at the Anchorage Restaurant
Day 6 -
Friday
7:00 a.m. - Depart St
Vincent
12:00 p.m. - Arrive Tobago Cays [St Vincent &
Grenadines]
ADVENTURE TIP - Tobago Cays is a group of small deserted coral fringed
islands and is one of the most beautiful anchorages in the world. As a National Park the
snorkelling is wonderful and diving can be arranged given advanced notice as can windsurfing and
kitesurfing Most of all this is a place to relax away from anything but some fellow yachties and a
few vendors selling provisions and the occasional lobster.
Day 7 - Saturday
9:00 a.m. - Depart Tobago Cays
9:00 p.m. - Arrive St Lucia - 110 mile
