MARIGOT BAY TO SOUFRIERE

After two nights in Marigot Bay we sailed gently down to the Pitons Bay, right between the two magnificent Piton mountains. Unfortunately all the moorings were occupied by other boats, and being too deep to anchor we moved half a mile back to Malgretoute Bay and found a couple of free mooring buoys to which we attached ourselves with shore lines to some unfortunate Almond bushes.

This was an amazing place and easily the most spectacular location in all our travels so far. The Pitons and surrounding mountains are awesome. However something the travel books don't tell you is that there is a strong sulphur and smoke smell from the nearby live volcano. On our second and third night we moved to a mooring buoy by the bat cave cliffs. We explored ashore and visited the beautiful tropical forest and gardens.
