Stargazer of Southampton - Ile Fourchoue

Ile Fourchoue

Stargazer of Southampton

Susie and Adam (both think they are skipper)

10:04.11, 17:57.26N 62:54.29W

On a FREE mooring buoy in the Marine park at Ile Fourchoue - it's a deserted island just off st Barts, water very clear and island very rocky, I think it looks green at other times of the year but right now it is rocks and cacti so we feel like we're back in the canaries or somewhere. Only a few other boats on other moorings, it's quite nice to be away from the Marina.
