Our sail from Guadaloupe to The Saints saw confused winds and seas. The winds especially were fickle, changing direction and quite gusty - very frustrating for us sailors, as that means we're constantly having to adjust our sails (ie. work!). We sailed in the company of Slow Waltz, Serenade, and Pavo Real.
The Saints is a quaint group of islands just south of Guadaloupe. We moored in the bay in front of the town of Bourg des Saints, on the largest island, Terre D’en Haut. It is a captivating little seaside village.

view of Bourg des Saints and the harbour from Fort Napolean
Fort Napolean, built in 1867, stands on the hill just north of town, with a spectacular view of the harbour. It has been magnificently restored, and
was a pleasure to tour.
