Bonjour! What a lovely life! I am a newbie although I have a current AB and recently retired from the Sailors' Union of the Pacific. I do have an AOS from the Culinary Institute and I studied French Literature. So I went to Martinique and fell in love with it. I spent some time in Vauclin and Le Marin. The thing is getting to the beaches is treacherous if you don't arrive by boat. I'm thinking about getting a six pack license. That island looks so nice, too. Thanks for living the dream! I know I have to crew on a boat for awhile or should. Just learn navigation and buy one and do it is an option. Thanks again! I have to get workingf papaers from France
