Sailing from Dominica to Les Saintes, Guadaloupe 26 January 2011

Nimue
Wed 26 Jan 2011 18:19
Another lively passage up the Dominica Channel required placing reefs in both the mainsail and headsail.   We were now becoming accustomed to the obligatory rainstorm which came through not long after we passed by Beez Neez. After a 22nm sail we had an interesting approach into Les Saintes anchorage and our first impressions of these little islands were very positive.
Pepe and I took the opportunity to take some action photos.
