Saturday today and a day to explore the chandlers of Le Marin at the head of the bay. There are a couple of options to travel there from the anchorage in Ste Anne. We could go by dinghy, but it's almost three miles into strong headwinds, or we could catch the bus. We opt for the dry bus.
First task in Le Marin is to find the main Digicel office and buy a local SIM card and monthly plan. There isn't an agent in Ste Anne.
Second
is to explore the many chandlers around the large marina. Le Marin
is the centre for yacht charters and has a busy waterfront. We
excited to discover the 'European' chandlers expecting them to have
different products to Budget Marine and Island Waterworld in Grenada.
There is more stuff but no propeller for a Tohatsu 9.8hp outboard.
They are on order and should be in in a month's time. Guess we're
staying with the Yamaha for a while. How about a spare impeller for
the Yam? Not in Le Marin. There's one Yamaha agent in Martinique
and they are near the airport in Fort de France. It is the
Caribbean! You have to work hard to get your spare parts.
