Guadeloupe, sailing to Deshaies

Left the windy anchor spot outside Basse-Terre harbour this morning.
Beautiful weather, and for a change not much wind. And the wind we had was not suitable for sailing.
We had a stop at Ilet Pigeon. One of Jaques  Cousteau's favorite diving spots. On a sandy spot there's a statue of him. Dept = 12 metres. Lots of diving companies operate here. Only divers went to the statue. Of course we went there with our snorkling equipment, and of course Bjarke made it down to the statue. A challenge for me, and I made it to. My deepest freedive ever.
A very great place for diving/snorkling. A lot of dead coral though. But lots of colourful fish.
We had lunch here to. French bread with tuna...
Next stop was Deshaies in the north west part of Guadeloupe.
A place which is known for it strong winds.
Right now we're sitting in the cockpit. It's 9pm, 25 degrees, lots of stars above us, jungle sounds from the nearby forrest, no wind, peppermint tea in my mug. The kids are asking for chocolate, but think it's all gone... :-)
