We dropped anchor in a lovely little bay (called Petite Anse) just outside the entrance to the main town Bourg des Saintes, Terre de Haut. As we approached we found that there were only 4 boats, a small beach and a small cottage/hotel alongside.
As we sat down to eat breakfast we noticed not one, but two catamarans "party tour boats" entering the little bay. Yup, two cats, loaded to the brim with partying tourists ready to snorkel and drop anchor right alongside us.

We use to be them. ..
Long time friends Kim and Marius, Steve and I, and new friends that we met while on an all-inclusive vacation at St. Kitts .. Tom, Marie, Terry and John, booked a snorkeling tour that traveled from St. Kitts to Nevis and back. I think I'll dig up those pic's and put them on the blog in the photo gallery... As I remember, Kim stood on the counter where they were serving drinks and hit her head... Remember that Kim? (Sorry, I just had to put that in.. Kim hardly drinks anything these days).

Here...Les Saintes meets our expectations, small village with scooters only, no cars (commercial vehicles only), narrow roads, small cafes filled with people just enjoying the day with their morning coffee and croissant, and the sweet smells of various flowers mixed with fresh baking...

My cousin Anne and Clive have bought a farm and property in France and I can understand why. Both Steve and I have really enjoyed the French Islands .. Hum, better start re-learning the language... Where's my "French for Cruisers"

We are here with CATTIVA, they live in Grimsby ON...
