Once again we are in a French speaking country. We did buy a book that is called "French for Cruisers" and it has a lot of great information. Now, if I could recall more of the French that I learned in high school we would be golden. All those years ago and not using the language does not make one very fluent in a language.
On Sunday morning as we were preparing to go for a hike, the Coast Guard came by and inspected the boat and our papers. This hasn't happened very many times to us (although a routine for every boat in the DR). I was nervous that they might notice our Certificate of Documentation was out of date! No problem, officer, we have renewed it but it is at our house in Key Largo. Anyway, they didn't catch it and we have our good friend, Jim Fagan, who went and found it for us. He will be mailing it to us when we give him a destination to send it to.
We went for that hike up a river here. Hope you enjoy pictures. They have been pretty scarce because I was not going to take my phone (only camera) to a lot of places. We bought a new waterproof camera in Phillipsburg, Sint Maarten. Now you can enjoy some more of the scenery!
Roxy sure enjoyed that hike up the river! There were several deep pools where the water collected that she went swimming and fishing in. She loved it!!! We found some fresh mangoes - she even ate some.
On Tuesday, we moved south along the coast of Guadeloupe to Iles a Saintes. Some beautiful, small islands. It most of the day to get there and I must say that our "comfort zone" has been extended to include sailing in some 30 knot winds. Not something we are going to go and do all the time but when you got em, you deal with em!
Now, we are going to move on to the Windward islands. Next stop Martinique.
