If It's Monday, This Must be Martinique

I haven't left myself much time to spend in the next few islands, but I'm enjoying sailing and stopping overnight. I cleared into a small bay in southern Marinique yesterday, and this afternoon I went for a nice walk outside of St Pierre, in the northern part of Martinique. This town was completely destroyed be an eruption from Mt Pelee in 1902, killing almost 30,000 people. http://www.doyleguides.com/volcano1902.htm
