Second Chances and Brave Endings
We left the rain behind in Deshaies - except for a feisty squall that popped the top two slugs on our main. All patched up yesterday. So, the sun shone in the enchanted islands called Les Saintes. An idyll of lush green vegetation, picture perfect red roofed houses, French style and Creole charm. [...]
Tintamarre and bizzare anchoring
02 May 2009
Io/Iona and/or Nonie
Hello everyone! :)
It has taken me a fair wee while to finally get around to doing this but here I am writing the blog!
We spent a blissful 2 nights in Tintamarre just around the corner of the main anchorage. It is so much more beautiful around the corner and you can see pelican and sooty terns nesting on the rocks.
Of course once one boat is anchored somewhere it becomes a 'safe' anchorage and the boats begin to pile up. we were even joined by safari, a 60ft gunboat. A funny thing is you never ever see anyone on those boats.......a little spooky? Maybe, then again prehaps they're sitting inside, heads in hands, moaning "3 million dollars! Why? 3 million dollars on this boat Agh" :)
We had a great time with friends Bleu Marie and their nephew Manoo. We went snorkelling and saw some lovely fish even if the waves were a little large. There were also some fantastic elk horn corals that nearly brushed the surface of the water.
Our evenings entertainment was to watch a moorings charter boat anchor.......5 times! Yes you DID read that right. And the first few attempts were so close inshore they were in danger of 'brushing' some very large and not so soft coral bombeys.
They also light themselves up like a christmas tree when the sun went down. Mooring light, Navigation lights, steamer lights just about any switch that said 'light' was turned on.
We left this morning at 7 am to go to what daddy calls Dr.Seus's waiting place :) The lovely Marigot. Splendid. Mass stock-ups and Engine maintenance are go-go.
Much love Io
