St Pierre, Reunion

Dear all,
Due to timing issues, logistics with avoiding the ARC and having to hold off until daybreak we unfortunately had to miss Mauritius from our itinerary.
The Marina in Mauritius was block booked by the arc, there are no other marinas only an anchorage10 miles away from the port, but you still need to go to the Marina to clear customs!!!!

So, we are now in Reunion a small island 100 miles west of Mauritius. It has a population of 800,000 people and is owned by the French. It is typically French and feels like we are in Marina in Brittany. Every one is again very friendly and welcoming.

We arrived yesterday afternoon to be met by Mike from Finnish Line who took our lines and joined us for a beer. Today we have been exploring checking emails, purchasing local sim cards and finding out what are the key things to do. One of the worlds most active volcanos is just two hours drive away so we are hoping to hire a car and have a look.

We'll let you know what we find.

Hope everyone at home is well, lots of love,
Ocean Lady
