We had our first really good day today with calm seas and a reasonably
steady 15 knot wind for our short ten mile sail from Deshaies to Pigeon
Island and then into and adjacent bay and to anchor. We had a look around
the foreshore but couldn't stretch to a meal as we had no Euros and USD
would not work. Trust the French! The rest of the Leeward Islands all use a
common local currency which is interchangeable with the USD. Again this is a
very picturesque spot and full of diving clubs/schools/tour diving and of
course very French. The anchorage is a little exposed and open to the swell
so a little on the rock and roll side. Anita has decided that we have to
visit Iles des Saintes tomorrow and we are hoping that we will get a repeat
of today's weather.
