Guadeloupe Les Saintes

We had an ok crossing from Martinique to Les Saintes. When I say that it means quite a lot of wind from a not so favourable angle and high waves. However we sailed and used the motor only to charge the batteries for a bit. It was very crowded in Les Saintes but we managed to find a mooring ball not too far from the dinghy dock. The first day we saw lots of children chasing a mother and baby dolphin around the bay. These dolphins were truly playing with them Leaping out of the water and staying just in front. The kids had been doing this for hours and some had to rest holding on to our dinghy.
These dolphins were there every day. We hired scooters for a day and cruised around the island. It is a totally enchanting island. On our last day there Dan and Debbie from Lady Hawk were next to us. It was lovely to see them again. We had exchanged emails but had not seen them since Puerto Rico last year. This is the lovely thing people cruise around here for years so you keep meeting up. Many island have a cruisers net on the VHF radio and people tune in in the morning get to hear who has arrived or who is leaving. They supply weather information and buy and sell things. It is great.
Anyway we very much enjoyed our stay in Les Saintes which is part of Guadeloupe. After 3 days there we set sail for Deshaies in Guadeloupe.
