Storm Boats Everywhere! Tour Abandoned Derelict Boats of Martinique - EP 33

ABANDONED YACHTS EVERYWHERE -- Ever experience a hurricane? Wonder why sailors flee to "hurricane holes" or far north or south to escape danger? Think you can weather the storm? Think again... In this episode we tour the wreckage of yachts caught and killed by nature's fury. Martinique - This French island keeps a lot of the character of her motherland with French villages, each with their own little church, scattered throughout the island. Hypermarkets, fashion boutiques, and cafes are easy to find - even in tiny costal villages. Mountainous, with and black and white sand beaches and numerous safe harbors, Martinique offers easy cruising for sailing enthusiasts. Christofer Columbus landed here in 1502 and commented that Martinique is the best, most fertile and most charming spot in the world, and that his eyes could never tire of contemplating such lush greenery. At the northern end of the island, which is only 19 miles in total length, is mount Pele'e - a volcano with recent and devastating action. In 1902 it erupted, killing nearly every inhabitant of the city capital Saint Piere below. A mixture of lava and superheated gases and vapor wiped out almost 30,000 inhabitants almost instantly leaving the capital is ruins Highlights of our visit include visiting the Clement rum distillery, exploring the windward side by elective moke, cleaning up a historic coastal trail, and exploring the surf, sand, and entertainment with friends and family.
