While we’re all busy making plans for New Year’s Eve I thought I’d post some more pictures of the epic Guadeloupe adventure.  Looking forward to doing it again! St Maarten, Anguilla, Antigua and Barbuda are next, and then it’s back to Guadeloupe.

We’re now in St Lucia again… we had to cancel our Christmas Trip as we had to come back here to have the teak deck finished. We’re glad to report that it’s nearly done and looks great. Next week Meercat will be back in open water – which is where she was designed to be.

Hope y’all have a great year’s end and an even better start to 2011.

Gwada trip part 3 – some random stuff

Forecast = no wind, so we went surfing instead.

And here’s a further report on Guadeloupe. After our first windy day in Le Gosier, the rest of the  itinerary was adapted to  catch the waves in the most beautiful spots. And those we did find…  Here are some tidbits! 

Dec 11 was Will Bennet’s birthday. We celebrated in style, on anchor in St Francois.
Petite Terre iguana. They are everywhere and no, they do not bite (we think).
Petite Terre. Marine park, not a kitespot for this reason, but surfing is fine…
