Arrived in les Iles du Salut at around 21:00 last night and using radar crept into an anchorage just S of Ile Royale. There was one yacht there already, which turned out to be british; the first oter british yacht seen since February.

The islands are very beautiful but rather strange with deserted prison camps overgown with tropical trees, and monkeys scampering around. However, being French, there’s also an auberge with a good bar and restaurant attached. The forecast issued by the local coastguard on VHF is good for today but promises strong winds over the weekend.
