We spent the first few days enjoying Anse du Bourg on
Terre de Haut in Les Saintes, which reminded us of one the many French islands
we regularly used to sail to off the Brittany coast. This was also to be
our last few days with Pepe and Bear for a while and so we enjoyed them looking
around Fort Napoleon and also swimming from one of the lovely beaches.
After a goodbye Cobb meal ( a type of BBQ) on board Nimue, Beez Neez left the
following day and headed north to Antigua. We stayed another day, after
which we sailed up to Pointe a Pitre, Guadeloupe’s largest municipality
and commercial port.
Please Pepe, a smile
for the camera?
