Iles Des Saintes

On our passage south, due to time limitations, we by-passed Guadeloupe and the Saintes. We now realize what a mistake that was - we loved the Saintes! They are French, quaint and irrestibly charming.
While anchored off the beach at Ilet a Cabrit we snorkelled for 3 hours straight, directly off of our boat, in the crystal clear water. Sightings of interest were three 10" squid, several sand divers, 2 spotted drum fish, several eels, vibrant orange tube coral, lots of sponges, plus sergeant majors, parrotfish, wrasses, rockfish...
We anxiously await our next passage south when we definitely plan to explore on land as well again in the sea, in the Saintes and Guadeloupe.
