Alex and Cory sail from Dominica to Martinique, arriving at Saint-Pierre after a rough, seasick crossing — a crossing Alex later realizes was worsened by early pregnancy symptoms.13:52 Saint-Pierre sits beneath the Montpellier volcano, which on May 8th, 1902, unleashed a pyroclastic surge that destroyed the city within minutes, killing roughly 3,000 people.1:19 The crew explores the ruins on foot: Le Théâtre de Saint-Pierre, a pre-eruption venue that seated 800 spectators, and the partially surviving Notre-Dame de l'Assomption Cathedral.1:57 One documented survivor was a prisoner whose thick-walled cell shielded him from the blast; a shoemaker may also have survived.3:25 The 1902 eruption sank ships anchored offshore, and the seabed is now an underwater archaeological site; Alex and the crew's child snorkel over multiple wrecks in strong current, also spotting a flying gurnard, golden spotted eel, and lesser electric sea rays.9:12 Provisioning in Saint-Pierre proves difficult — both U-Express and Ecomax carry limited stock at high prices.7:41 The central event is Alex revealing a pregnancy to Cory on their son the crew's child's third birthday, with the family celebrating at a beach party in Martinique.12:11
