We breezed thru customs like we were on a calm beam reach thru these torquoise waters close to the mountains.
We followed our noses past the boulangeries, arrived at the Customs and Immigration office and cleared in effortlessly! They turned that French keyboard our way, we managed the electronic forms (in French), they didn't once try to understand our teeny bit of French/English attempt to explain, and as usual, got a clearance to stay! The French are so anti-paper, anti-form and anti-stuffed procedures...love that! Hmmmm, we are now, totally taking everything we said about those French back.
My amazing Captain joined me for a hike up the hill, visited with the flora and the Christ statue and proceeded east to windward. This cruising and hiking is very healthy business! Love it!
We have to get weather for our short leg to Guadeloupe! When?

| Vessel Name: | Altair |
| Vessel Make/Model: | Tartan 34' |
| Hailing Port: | Coconut Grove Sailing Club |
| Crew: | Dudley Clark and Becky Butler |
| About: | Dudley has owned this Tartan sloop and has been cruising on her since 1986. Becky joined the good sloop back in 2000 when we first started cruising together and he has been 'training' me ever since! I couldn't be happier! I've been sailing all my life, but cruising is a whole different fish! |
| Extra: | This is the most extended cruise we've braved on this wonderful, old boat of ours which is planned to be about 2 years! We left Miami in late February of 2008 and want to get below the hurricane belt by the end of July! Ok, so it's July, 2011...we're close, but not home yet! |
