To reach Le Marin in Martinique from Les Saintes, Hugo and his Écume de Mer decided to stay upwind of the islands. But when the weather gets involved, sailing is not necessarily easy.

The circle is complete. 2 months after his arrival from the deckchair at Le Marin in Martinique, Hugo returns to this point of departure to drop off his friends at the airport. In 2 months, he sailed north from Martinique to Saint-Barthélemy. Taking advantage of the stopovers to meet people and enjoy the anchorages.

Sailing down from the Saintes to the sailor is not easy. Indeed, with the very small engine of his Sea Foam, Hugo prefers to avoid sailing downwind of the islands. He prefers the coast to the wind. As a result, it will change to the wind of Dominica and the wind of Martinique. There, the wind is more regular, but the sea is also stronger. In addition, Hugo will encounter a tropical wave that will largely pour its raindrops on the boat.

But fortunately, the crew arrived in time to be on time for the plane. Leaving Hugo alone ready to leave for the rest of his navigation.
