It’s been a delightful and relaxed month in the Saints but now we need to return to Point-a-Pitre for wants and needs. I want to have a part of my scuba kit serviced; my octopus is free flowing and no matter what we do we can’t fix it so a trip to the equipment doctor is required.
We also need to buy a certain brand of anti foul for haul out later this year. For the last four times we’ve anti fouled we’ve used a Norwegian paint, Jotun Seaforce 90, bought the last couple of times from a supplier in Trinidad. Currently they don’t have any in stock. Don’t know when they will so it is time to think laterally. Jotun is from Norway so perhaps they have agents in Europe, possibly France. Fred Marine in Marina Bas du Fort has successfully imported other items for us from France. Could I find a solution by importing from France?
Mr Google directed me to a French stockist who just happen to have outlets in both Martinique and Guadeloupe! A quick email confirms that the Guadeloupe shop has one 20L pail of black in stock and they will hold it for us. Sometimes luck is on your side.
