Montreal Gardens, St Vincent

These are the private garden of a 60ish German man who settled in St. Vincent.  The garden is at the center of an ancient dormant volcano that created a valley facing east. The valley catches the eastern winds with its abundant moisture. The gardens blew us away.

I have been in France for over a month and living on the boat since December 21st.  Finally we are to depart from La Rochelle tonight. Michelle, the forth member of the crew, arrived today.

Then we are off to dinner and then we set sail with the tide.  We are targeting Gijon on the north coast of Spain.  It will take two days.  We are expecting another front otherwise we would try to round the headland toward Portugal.  We will most likely hold up in Gijon until the front passes.  At least it will be a change of scenery.  You can follow along by opening Course and Location and clicking the URL.
