Saturday June 30: Deshaies, Guadaloupe (map)
We arrived in Deshaies around 8:30 am and dropped anchor. We hung out and had a lazy day: snorkeling, swimming, reading, interwebs, snacking, and chores.
Friday June 29: Leave Gustavia and head towards Guadaloupe
We ate delicious Breton crepes for breakfast.
We made two trips to the chandlery again today in our efforts to fix the starboard freshwater pump. (Maybe it is fixed now; I hope.)
We checked out of Gustavia around noon and set sail towards Guadaloupe. We had good wind for once — we sailed and pinched our way with only a very short tack to avoid Redonda.
When abeam of St. Kitts, we deployed our new drogue to see how it would work. It slowed the boat to around 4 knots.
Wednesday June 27 and Thursday June 28: Gustavia, St. Barthélemy (map)
Nice days in Gustavia: a good mix of errands, good food, boat work and exploring the town.
We have decided that it is not so important after all that we get to Grenada by June 30th. Maybe we’ll stop in Guadaloupe for a few days before we go to Grenada.
Monday June 25 and Tuesday June 26: From Anegada, British Virgin Islands to Gustavia, St. Barthélemy
We upped anchor in Anegada at 8:30 on Monday and, after a lot of sailing and tacking (220 boat miles to go ~100 direct miles), we arrived at St. Barth’s around 4 pm on Tuesday.
