Our day was spent in perfect sailing conditions along the south and west coast of the island of Martinique as we headed toward our first landing destination on Dominica tomorrow. With a favorable 10-15 knot breeze off our starboard quarter, the sails were set by our daredevil crew as they climbed up the rigging to unfurl the sails. We then made way at a solid 6-7 knots as guests spent time relaxing on deck before a buffet lunch. Presentations by expedition staff and afternoon tea were followed by dropping the sails ahead of Captain’s welcome dinner in the lounge.

Grenada
Our adventure in Grenada began with a scenic drive through lush, rolling hills, where spice trees and tropical flowers filled the air with their fragrances. Our first stop was Annandale Falls, a hidden gem nestled within a dense rainforest. A short walk along a shaded trail led us to the cascading waterfall, its crystal-clear waters tumbling into a natural pool. Some guests took a refreshing dip, while others enjoyed watching local divers perform intrepid jumps from the rocky ledges. The vibrant greenery and the sound of rushing water created a peaceful and invigorating atmosphere. Next, we visited a chocolate factory. Grenada’s rich volcanic soil nurtures some of the world’s finest cacao. We learned about the traditional methods of growing, harvesting, and fermenting cacao beans. A tasting session delighted our senses, revealing the deep, complex flavors unique to Grenadian chocolate. We finished the excursion at Frederick Fort, with an incredible view of the bay. It was a day of discovery, indulgence, and appreciation for this Caribbean treasure.
