on a Boat across Carribbean sea⛵

I met to this captain at Jeremie sail maker house in Martinique when we were making  sails  for the bamboo raft. Jeremie and Lydia kindly let us stay in their house.

  Jeremie let me use his surfboard and gave me a lift to go to surfing beach called Tartaine.

   This captain is also a surfer and he came to Tartaine with Lydia to pick me up after my   surfing . He was also ordering sails to Jeremie for his boat, because Jeremie makes good sail! 

    I immediately asked him if I can go with his boat to Panama.

  Panama is a access way to Pacific Ocean!! ( Panama canal)

  And even more wonderful thing,  he said " We are going to make surf trip by boat!" 

   This is amazing! 

 I didn't need to ask around many boats on marina. I felt like ,"Is the things happen like this in this world? Like a magic? " 

  Now I really expect this kind of magic happen on one's life. 

   I said " I will sail with bamboo boat as long as I can, then after I will join your surf trip." 

 

 I flew to Trinidad because it was so good chance. They are on carnival weeks , and it was really close. The flight took only 40 minutes from St.Lucia to Trinidad.

  After 10 days in Trinidad, I flew back to St.Lucia, then took a speed ferry to Fort de France , Martinique  to meet my new captain.

 

 I arrived to Le Carbet town, north of Fort de France. I was traveling with a surf board which Jeremie gave me.

   As soon as I got off a bus, one car with local people said " Where do you go with this surfboard?! We will help you !,," 

  Then I got a lift to "Wahoo bar ," which was a meeting point to this new captain.

   We put my 2 big bags to Annex(dinghy) and I forgot to put my surf board ! 

  The captain' s boat , he bought it by 1 € because it was destroyed by Hurricane. 

Boat name is Amazone , 13 meters monohull boat. He is living in this boat for 4 years now.

  Captain has many friends here and everybody was saying good bye to him.

     We left Martinique " Le Carbet" beach on sunset time. Some captain' s friends followed us for a while by small catamaran boat

  For them, it is also like a dream to sail to Panama. 

  My boat life starts again. We sailed to St. Bartholomew island. It took for only 1.5 days sailing.

Here, we  met our  captain's  friend named  Nico. He also loves a boat and living in his 8 meters boat. His father is a boat  builder at  La Rochelle in France, and he also can fix motor and everything of the boat

 He explained many things about boat in English. In this boat , the main language is French , so I was missing some conversations I can join. I really thanked to Nico.

  St. Bartholomew island is famous for only rich people lives there like Rockefeller had a house in here. 

   Then we sailed to St. Martin island to pick up captain' s brother who is living there.

 He also lives on his boat.

 

 Then we started sailing to Panama. After 9 days sailing, we arrived at Bocas del Toro In Panama!( Carribbean side)
