If you don't absolutely need to have it delivered, you can sail right up to the float at the boatyard for a short while (or, even better, dinghy there) and there is an excellent supermarket (Leader-Price) right next to the boatyard. There are shopping carts that you can "rent" right at the dock. It's less than a block away, and it is well stocked and cheap, especially the French-branded canned goods, and of course the wine is excellent and dirt cheap. We love French food and used Leader-Price to stock up months of supplies (we're still finding their canned veggies in odd lockers two years later).

FYI......slightly off the subject, but......the latest edition of Caribbean Connections has a lengthy letter to the editor warning about 2 persistant problems at La Marin; dinghy theft and dog poisioning..

The writer had their locked dinghy stolen and later when they walked Fido near a marina it picked up a chunk of meat which had poison inserted in it.

Quick action and a good vet saved the dog.

I meant Caribbean Compass...oops...

La Marin is a great spot for sailors. Leader Price is excellent. As always you have to be street savy. However we always found Marin a fun spot.

Don't let a couple reports detour you.....After you stock up then hang out in Saite-Anne then walk over to Salines ....what a beach! Don't miss it!

Also if the weather is bad at the popular Anse Mitan go further in to
Trois-ilets they have the home of Josephine . The best musuem in the islands.

Saint-Pierre has a wonderful exhibit on the eathquake ruins of 1902.

Don't be intimidated by the French their bark is worse than their bite!
