We left Les Saintes after two great days to head up to
the main island of Guadeloupe and made quick progress across the Canal Des
Saintes arriving at the light house off the South Western tip just after 8:30am,
it was striking how quickly the wind died in the wind shadow behind the island
and we therefore motor sailed north up the coast seeing only a few
anchorages.
The beach at Maledure was busy with day trippers to the
marine park and we eventually settled upon an anchorage just before midday and
then motored across in the tender to snorkel off the island which made up the
reserve. I had an ear infection causing trouble so stayed in the boat whilst the
others explored and it was a really great experience by all
accounts.
In the evening we went ashore and found a very rustic
cafe for diner chez Olga with a limited but sufficient dinner
choice
