OK- I'm sure nobody feels sorry for us because our yacht doesn't get internet when anchored off this town in Marie Galante, Guadeloupe. But this place is an enigma.......a stunning island with only one safe anchorage.......and that anchorage is off a hamlet where everything is sketchy and the people are kind of angry. How angry ? We rented a scooter and drove 15 miles to a cafe to avoid the one right in front of the boat in St.Louis (we were scolded there a few days ago). I really wanted to go gangsta on her when she yelled at me in French/creole that there are no more sandwiches. "Maybe if you say it even louder I'll understand, you one toothed freak".
But on a happier note, the rest of the island is amazing. Rugged, beautiful, and wonderfully Caribbean..........but with those French touches we love, like great food, wine, and would you believe chocolate rum ?

Today we will continue our tour de Guadeloupe and also go for a hike. Next up, we're not sure......either we leave for martinique tonight (a nearly full moon evening sail) or we go back to Iles Des Saintes for a few days.
