On Wednesday we decided to head over to Petit St. Vincent and anchor for the night then head over to Petit Martinique. We found a nice place to anchor and there was no one else around. The island is private and has a very nice resort with 22 cottages that can be rented out for around $1,500-$2,500 per night (we of course stayed on the boat). The place was pretty much closed for the slow season and not many people were around other than workers getting things ready for the busy season. So we took the dogs into the beach and enjoyed the beautiful island for a while.
When we headed back to the boat we saw a storm was coming in but we had no idea that it was going to bring 45 mph winds and a downpour. We sure were't expecting it to be this wicked and none of the weather apps that we have said anything about it. But we made it through without our anchor even slipping and Thursday morning we headed over to Petit Martinique for gas and water. When we asked the lady at the marina about the storm she said those come up all the time. Wow, I don't care to experience that again. I'm just glad we were anchored and not out in the open water when it came up.

I got a kick out of your crab hunters! Hilarious! They would be entertaining to watch! The island was very pretty and secluded looking, but YIKES, THE STORM! Very scary to see in photos let alone BE in one! Stay safe!
