The Saintes

As if the surroundings weren't idyllic enough in the Saintes, it was a delight to watch the brightly coloured Hobie cats as they played amongst the islands.
In contrast were the huge outboards that we saw on some of the local boats. One boat (approximately 25') had 2 - 275 horse power motors on the back (as if one wouldn't be enough)!
Possibly commuting across the 9 mile open channel to Guadeloupe might require the need for so much horsepower.
We haven't seen so much power since Trinidad.
