Ile a Vache, again

Main street, Caille Coq
 After deciding to exit the Caribbean via the Windward Passage a short visit to Haiti was easily worked into the voyage plan. Topped of fuel, oil, and rum supplies and  had lobster dinner at Jean Jean's. The second time around was much easier as the local people recognized the boat when I came in to anchor. I found my crew from last time and recruited them to get supplies from Les Cayes for me and a couple more pieces of bamboo to pole out the jib for down wind sailing. Had Corby and friends clean the bottom  and I  de-barnacled the propeller and transducers for the long upcoming passage. It was an all too brief four day visit, but with hurricane season inexorably progressing, it was time to head north for the season.
