Reading all these comments and the news about this tragedy in St Lucia has caused me to rethink our up coming trip to the Island. On great advise from this group I had planned to sail up to Martinique for a few days and then head back down to St Lucia and The Pitons for the remainder of the trip. Now I'm thinking maybe we should just spend the whole trip cruising Martinique and forget about St Lucia or if we do cruise St Lucia just forget about anchoring or mooring and put the boat on the dock at the Marinas in Marigot and Rodney. If we decide to head south to the Pitons are there usually many boats moored between them? I'm thinking safety in numbers.
