We lifted the anchor on our way to Guadeloupe on Mother`s
day. Catlyn was loving the open sea, and we sailed at great speed towards the
next island on the horizon. We sailed close to the land, enjoying the scenery
of the islands, although we had to be on the lookout for fish traps all the time.
Johan made us a Thai stew with crab and fish, and for desert
I made a lemon meringue! Guadeloupe is a huge developed island, and again I
could see the hand of the French. The roads are well kept, there are lamp post
all over, everything neatly organized.
We sailed into Deshaies with the last light of day, and Joe thought he
saw Yacht Tika!
The bay is very well protected and very quiet, and we slept
well with no pounding music in our ears.
Marco couldn`t wait for the morning to come, so that he could see
whether it was Tika in the bay, with his grandmamma and grandpapa from the Sea.
And it was! We said good bye to them almost a year ago in Suriname! It was so
good to see them again, and we knew that we will be leaving again tomorrow,
but maybe we`ll see them again in
Trinidad!
The town is just as lovely with all the curious shops and
restaurants and bakeries,
and even a SPAR, like in our country.
We found some
milk and good meat and of course the most delicious baguettes! It was just
difficult to keep the boys from breaking bread while walking around in the
streets.
The evening was beautiful with
the rainbow overpowering the little town, and we went to bed, to be up and
ready to lift the anchor early tomorrow morning!
