South Guadeloupe and Les Saintes

Le Bourg des Saintes

Anchorage

Small resort

Little dream house

Another day in paradise A short stop in Le Barque on SE Guadeloupe gave us a night’s rest. It is a small narrow bay with a beach squeezed between two rocky tongues, stretching into the sea. Picturesque with large blooming Poinciana trees. But Guadeloupe highway runs around the bay and that made anchoring there rather noisy. Early next morning, May 20th, we sailed to Les Saintes, a group of small, but popular French islands just South of Guadeloupe. We didn’t go ashore and still had a good time in a busy bay watching boats coming and going, countless ferries and small sailboats racing. We met again our new French friends Christine and Patrick, who, in Dehais, exchanged our empty butane bottle for a full spare, when we ran out of the cooking fuel. We stayed two days, then sailed on to Dominica.
