The Unicorn Brig is a tall sail ship that was used in the "Pirates of the Carribean" films along with some of their crew. Friday's is pirates day so a few bandanas, facepaints etc was on show.
We sailed south to Soufriere enjoying the lovely weather, soft lazing area and views. We docked and transfered into buses to visit the local dormant volcano and sulphur springs. The strong smell of sulphur was nearly over bearing!
Above, the rotten smelling drive in volcanoe. Below Rich, Jack & Whinnie force a smile whilst trying to avoid breathing through their noses.
We then visited the Botanic Garden waterfalls and some ventured into freezing waters to stand under falls.
It was then back to the boat for lunch as we headed north again. As we slowed down near our swimming/snorkling area we spotted 2 Pilot Whales - great sight! We dropped anchor and went for a swim and swing rope off sails.
Above, Jack & Gav nervously await their jump.
Above is Jack swinging into the sea. Below is Gavs legs as he dives in.
Back on board and a visit to Marigot Bay which is a stunning inlet port where many films have been shot. On leaving we fired a cannon as a salute of our visit.
On board on way home there was music and dancing, drinking and water fights....great relaxing day and one we needed after the excertions of the cricket!
Both Ali and Kathryn are suffering bad ankle injuries and both barely able to walk - maybe lucky games are all finished!!
Tonight we are heading to Gros Islet for their "Jump Up" carnival which will be a late night!! Everyone says it's a must do event so here's hoping it lives up to it reputation....!!
