We anchored in Rodney Bay, a bit
north of St. Lucia's capital city, Castries. We anchored in Rodney Bay, a bit

Mary and I (and about 15 others)
took part in a mountain bike excursion through some of the
island's lush rainforest, and this was the midpoint of the tour.
Now THAT'S what I call water
pressure!!!
These were the local tour guides,
and they were glad to see us go since they were looking forward
to head into Castries for the second day of carnival.
We saw many banana (and other
tropical fruit) plantations.
That evening (just in time for the
sunset, as you can see), Mary and I participated in mast
climbing. We only got to climb 1/3 of the way up the mast, but
that was plenty, even with a harness.
A look down onto the ship's deck
about 80 feet below.
Five were allowed up the mast at a
time, and one of them took our picture.
Wow...
What next?
