WE Sail Guadeloupe | Episode 18
Just a few nautical miles north of Dominica is a cluster of French islands called The Saints. WE Sail off to spend a few days roaming around the island of Terre de Haut before sailing up to the mainland of Guadeloupe. We were told by fellow cruisers that you must rent a scooter and explore the Fort of Napoleon at the top of the hill for an incredible panoramic view of the islands.
We continue on to mainland Point a Pitre for a few more nights while we finish up a few more boat projects and of course shop at the local markets at the port. Just before heading off to Antigua, we spend a single night at a very windy anchored called Deshaies (pronounced day-hays). The winds were tunneling through the anchorage at 30 plus knots and causing much havoc among cruisers coming in for the night. We spent the remainder of the day on high alert and stayed on watch as boat after boat attempted to find a safe spot for the night. We were happy to leave first thing in the morning to say the least.
Enjoy the adventures of WE!
