Beautiful Folage
02 August 2007 | Deshaies, Guadeloupe
It's difficult to share the beauty we see because it's part of the whole experience. Anchorages and harbours capture little of what the islands have to offer. When we talk to cruisers who don't get off their boats much to explore, they are missing a lot.
Our guidebooks are invaluable. We use Chris Doyle's Cruising Guide to the Leeward Islands and Lonely Planet's book on the Eastern Caribbean. Many of the locals have met Chris Doyle and have developed a friendship with him. He doesn't flower the facts and when he sees something that is poor he'll put it in the guide.
