Our anchorage in Marigot Bay, St. Lucia.
July 22, Marigot, St. Lucia
We moved down the coast yesterday, past Castries, the capitol of St. Lucia, to Marigot Bay, the location of a high-end hotel/marina in a natural hurricane hole. We are anchored just outside — to avoid the $30 (U.S.) morning ball fee.
The marina itself struck me as a bit ridiculous: expensive fashion & souvenir shops, a beautiful bakery and restaurants, but not a chandlery nor hardware store in sight, nor a laundromat.
Not really our scene. Everyone is very friendly, hoping we will drop some coin. But unfortunately, we won’t be doing that; we are the type of sailors who wash their clothes by hand on deck in order to last until the next laundromat.
