After leaving Guadeloupe we sailed 15 miles to Les Saintes which was a right beat to in strong winds where we were sailing 35 to 40 degrees to the apparent wind. On the short hop we again realised the pros and cons to having a catamaran when the charter cat that left before us had to tack twice across the channel to get to the same destination as us. We tacked once and got there way before him. The con side being where they were sunbathing out on the foredeck, we were soaking wet and healing like a bitch!!
Anyway we arrive and drop anchor on a small uninhabited island. As usual we dived straight in and saw another sea turtle. They are by far my favourites and it's so cool to swim right by the side of them. The next day we take the dingy ashore and go for a walk on the island which is beautiful. We saw a few humming birds which was cool, but they broke us down cos trying to get a picture was impossible they were so quick. There were loads of wild goats on the island and Sym tryed to get close to feed the baby and the dad was not having any of it. He followed Sym around for ages staring him out getting ready to charge. I just eased back slowly bricking it!!Did not realise that a goat could be so intimidating. The island were meant to be full with Iguanas but we were gutted we did not get to see them.
