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

Friday, December 24th, 2010

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…

The Guada trip rundown – part one

Matt Sexton rippin' it at Le Gosier, Guadeloupe

Well. Will Bennet and Celine Collaud left for the airport, Matt Sexton is still here until tomorrow… and we are having beers to celebrate the success! We are glad to report that it went very well. We feel privileged to have had Will, Celine and Matt onboard as our very first guests. The wind didn’t play ball unfortunately… we had one good day. Not a surprise as it is pre-season but we were hoping for better. Obviously according to Windguru the wind IS back tomorrow… figures. We will stick around to check it out so stay tuned.

Sooo what did happen? Well lots of surfing (yes! proper surfing) was done, plus we wakeboarded, fished (an eyeball, amongst various….) and just generally hung out and had a very good time. Guadeloupe is gorgeous -with or without wind. The waveriding potential is enormous. Love this place!
