Antigua-Guadeloupe: it was a very nice sail...yes, we sailed at last! In about 7 hours, we reached the French island Guadeloupe! The visibility was not so great and it took a long time before we could see the contour of the Basse-Terre (the montainous part of the island) ...which seems to be basking in the clouds most of the time. We anchored near a small fishing village, Port Louis. We had a gorgeous sunset on the caribbean sea with Basse-Terre finally cleared of all clouds !

Nous voila arrives en Guadeloupe! La traversee de English Harbour, Antigua fut rapide et agreable. Nous avons fait notre permiere halte a Port Louis, un petit village de pecheurs..bien tranquille en ce dimanche soir. Premier coucher de soleil avec une vue de Basse-Terre, qui ne baigne plus dans les nuages...
