We are on our way to Guadeloupe.....
We made it to Guadeloupe in four hours and it was a very pleasant trip. Guadeloupe lies in midway between Puerto Rico and Venezuela. From the air Guadeloupe looks like a butterfly, as they are two smaller land masses joine
d by two bridges over a narrow channel called Riviere –Salee. Guadeloupe is Fren
ch and Basser-Terre is the capital with a population of 431170. We anchored in a little Bay that is called Deshaies near the north end of Guadeloupe’s west coast, it has a picturesque little township that lines the shores of the Bay. Our friends from the Catamarans Calabra and Double Exposure are already anchored and 
checked in. After an hour we are also ch
ecked in and anchored and started to enjoy the view and the Bay. It was very hot and so we decided to go for a snorkel. Wow…….this has been the best snorkeling experience we had on our whole trip. There was so much to see and the variety was amazing. We saw fish that we hadn’t seen before, a gold spotted eel t; we swam with turtles, a striped Burrfish, different types of Morays ….and in amongst all that we also saw some little Crayfish. The next bay over the shore is lined with golden soft sand with a backdrop of green rainforest, exactly how you would see it in the books, perfect. In the late afternoon we had a sundowner with Vicky and Mike, before we retired to bed early. Today was one of those days that I would nominate for the “Best Day ever”!
