25 Years Later!
From the log
Another unplanned stop and we are anchored off the village of Deshaies on the island of Guadeloupe. This just happens to be where we came on our honeymoon 25 years ago, making a surprise hop on a charter sailboat and Voila! We were hooked! Guadeloupe is one of the larger islands in the Caribbean with a population over 330,000, about 20x30 miles in size, and shaped like a butterfly. One side of the butterfly is very mountainous with rainforests and volcanos. The other side is much flatter. Keep mind that this update is being done in a French internet cafe - the keyboard is laid out differently and all commands in French!

Following along from Houston and loving every update. That shot of the anchorage at dawn is going straight on my wall.

We crossed paths with you in Bocas years ago and have been reading ever since. Fair winds to you both.

My grandkids and I look up every island you mention on the map. It has turned into our little geography lesson.

Twenty years of this and still going. You two are the reason we finally put a deposit on a boat of our own.
