Beautiful anchorage at Isle Des Saintes in Guadalupe.

Leaving Antigua

Our bow met  the sterns of our neighbors in the middle of the night....we had been warned of strange winds at that side of the harbor.

So off we went searching for new neighbors in the middle of the night...fun in a crowded anchorage. But at least we had a full moon.

This is the most crowded anchorage we have ever been to. It seems like we could almost jump to the other boats.

Some mega sail boat race is going on...interesting to see 150' sailboats.
