                | This morning we awoke in Isles des Saintes, around 20 miles south of 
Guadeloupe, to find yacht Regina anchored directly in front of us, which was a 
wonderful surprise.  Leon, Karolina, Jessica and Jonathan had arrived 
during the night, from Grenada.  Although Leon and Karolina had 
only had around 1.5 hours of sleep they were still keen to walk up to Fort 
Napoleon (on one of the hills above the anchorage).  View from Fort Napoleon The fort has been restored and was very interesting.  It now houses a 
museum containing exhibits relating to the islands and their maritime 
history.    On the way back down we saw several iguanas.  This one was around 1 
metre long:  Tomorrow we will leave here at first light, in order to be in Point a 
Pitre, capital of Guadeloupe, when Trevor and Mary (Juliet's parents) 
arrive. |
