Friendly fire

I'm pleased to report that this cannon, trained on Windstar's ship Wind Surf, is British.

Cannon with ship.JPGThis is the view from Fort Rodney on Pigeon Island in St Lucia. Behind where I'm standing, clearly visible (but not in this picture - here you are looking at St Lucia), is French Martinique. So back in 1778, our man Rodney realised this hill was a perfect vantage point for keeping an eye on the marauding French so he had this fort built.

But how did they get the cannons up there?
