Ivo and Dajana sail from Anse Noire toward Saint-Pierre, Martinique, passing the capital, Fort-de-France.0:14 The crew attempts to hike the active volcano, montagne Pelée, but turns back near the summit due to heavy cloud cover that obscures views of the Atlantic and Caribbean coasts.4:01 They visit the cascade Didier, located 20 minutes by car from Fort-de-France, noting that the trail entrance sits near a restricted zone sign and requires non-slip footwear.4:56 Snorkeling occurs at Anse d'Arlet, where marked maritime trails identify local marine species.7:24 The crew also visits a small, 33-degree Celsius ferruginous water basin on the coast of Petite Anse d'Arlet and explores the grotte aux chauves-souris near their anchorage at Anse Noire.12:06 A significant Saharan dust storm impacts the region, lasting five days and coating the boat in sand while affecting air quality.9:58
