Malendure (Guadeloupe)
Wednesday, 27.02.2008, 20:30 clock

Even yesterday, we sailed to Montserrat to Deshaies / Guadeloupe. At 55 degrees to the wind, the route was still under sail back $ 20 to 25 knots true wind, which prevails here nunmal mostly, my entire crew escaped again in the travel sleep.

from our trip to the North but already know the eastern butterfly wings of Guadeloupe (Grande-Terre), but the western (Basse-Terre). After Einlarieren we are therefore motor temperature this morning with excitement about 9 nautical miles, the wind-resistant Lee-coast in the Cousteau National Park. This is a small diving paradise with coral, colorful fish, giant turtles and many other colorful sea creatures. Anchoring is strictly prohibited. There are exactly two buoys, may be to make what sail boats. And we were lucky. When Martina is not secured by the first boat snorkel for half an hour, tatsächlch one of the two buoys was free! So today, snorkeling and swimming to the hilt. And friendship with a cute French with his 2-year Milo on "Gwen Askel" at the other buoy, we have also closed. on

Because of the significant threshold but not to the buoy out there "Pigeon Iceland", we have now abandoned this evening and are now close to the coast at Malendure anchor. Tomorrow morning we will perhaps come out the small coral reef, before then, presumably to Basse-Terre (the same city on the island half).

Montserrat

16 ° 48.1 'N 062 ° 13.4' W
Little Bay, Montserrat
Sunday, 02.25.2008, 21:30 clock

Today any overly nice trip from Nevis to Montserrat. With full sails and two engines, we have the 35 nm rather against the wind after all, brought in just over 6 hours behind us. Once there, we wanted to do shortly before 5 clock a little country walk. A man in uniform (presumably from the "Port Authority") kindly pointed us out that we einzuklarieren and had "over time" (Sunday supplement of probably 70 EC $) to pay. As an alternative, we had only to chug back to the sailboat back.

On the island of Montserrat has been active since 1995 and to date the volcanic Sufrière. He has destroyed the capital in the south of the island and the economic life completely. 2 / 3 of Bevökerung have left the island since then. The southern part is prohibited area and can not be accessed. There are also a port is not here. "Little Bay" is - as the name suggests - a small and not particularly sheltered bay in the north of Montserrat.

Urinary Tract Discharge

Northern turning point

Simpson Bay, St. Maarten
Sunday , the 02/17/2008

We left the Simpson Lagoon again and are beyond the drawbridge back in Simson Bay. Certainly every time we have posted our new anchor, and expect that our new main anchor in the future on the first throw is sitting.

The Lesser Antilles are a manageable world. They meet in the ports and bays and over again on the same boat. Only a few of us know the crew. Nevertheless, one always comes through somehow a familiar grin when you see hindümpeln after a few weeks sailing diesebe bowl again before him. On our little trip to the dinghy to Marigot in the lagoon, we have not only known but also boats Helmut and Lisa from the Alumine after a good 6 weeks made. We have two super cute adventurer in Martinique in late December to know. You can say what you want: the islands are a village.

water, diesel, food supplies are replenished, 4 washes fresh laundry we have. Tomorrow morning it to St. Eustatius and thus again to the south towards Martinique. At Saba, we unfortunately have to miss. Too little time is left and we had a very bad course to the wind, to come from there to St. Eustatius. Also, the course from here directly to St. Eustatius runs high in the wind, the trip is so his swing.
