Guadeloupe – February 2017

The beautiful french territory of Guadeloupe has so much to offer and so many off islands to explore.  We covered much of the country starting with The Saintes, a small group of islands just south of the main island of Guadeloupe.  Next we set sail for St. Francois to meet my brother, his wife and my little eight month old niece.  From St. Francois, we sailed to Marie Galante, back to Les Saintes, then to Pigeon Island and the Jacques Cousteau Marine Park.  That is where we had to say goodbye to our second visitors to the boat.  From there we went to Deshais and had a lovely time – found dim sum dumplings at the grocery store and spent a day a the beautiful botanical gardens.  Here are some photos along the way…
