Island Hopping - Heading South - The Leewards (Guadeloupe to the Saintes)

As we had endured the stress of anchoring in the dark at our last two locations we felt that today a shorter day's travel would be in order and hopefully we could make landfall before sunset. With that goal in mind we set off along Guadeloupe's west coast for the Saintes; however, half way along we encountered the Jacques Cousteau Underwater Park at Pigeon Island and the lure of great snorkelling was just too much to pass by.
We spent 2 hours exploring the rich sea life that encircles Pigeon Island before setting sail once more for the Saintes.
Our anchorage was in sight as the sun set but unfortunately we experienced difficulties dropping the main-sail as the halyard and topping lift tangled and ended up "feeling" our way in to yet another anchorage in the dark.
Where is the moon when you need it?
