St Lucia is an English speaking island 25 miles south of Martinique. It is a self governing island with it's own legislature. The terrain is similar to Martinique, mountainous with small beaches. The Pitons are the major feature and are tall volcanic mountains on the edge of the land. The currency is eastern Caribbean dollars (ECC), about 2.5 to $1USD. We sailed from Marin in Martinique to Rodney Bay in St Lucia.
