Tropical Diversion: Les Saints

After 4 wonderful days in Les Saints, we decided to head over to Guadeloupe Thursday. We really enjoyed Les Saints and the people there are very nice even though it's so hard to communicate with them because hardly any of them speak English and if they do, it’s very little. We rented a scooter on Wednesday and rode all over Terre Den Haut, which is the biggest of the four islands. It only took about 4 hours because it is pretty small. We visited three different beaches and two were on the East side of the island so the waves there were fairly big. I know Wes talked about the sights when we cruised around on the scooter but I though I would post some pictures.
It was nice visiting a place that we hadn't been to before.

The sail to Guadeloupe was very nice. The winds blowing around 12-15 knots and we cruised along nicely averaging 6-7 knots. It is so much nicer going north up the island chain than south. You usually have the wind coming out of the east / southeast pushing you along nicely on a broad reach.

Today we moved down to the North end of the island to a town called Deshaies (Day-ay) and we will probably stay here for a few days before we head to Antigua. We liked Deshaies when we were here on our way down island.
