Pigeon siland? No

We stopepd at Pigeon island due to the underwater park but there was a swell in the bay and no Dinghy dock. So with the little one we had no chance to get ashore safely. The beach was also to steep and rough and when we asked a local dive boat (of a Padi 5 star center) they did not speak a single word english. We found out that the supermarket is 2km away and no taxi here and so we left the anchorage the same day.

The Saintes 2

Lani woke up at 5.11 YEAAAH this sucks! So we head breakfast around 6.30 and a long day ahead :-) Don´t be fooled by this remote place, the french customs is coming and checking boats. It looked like they gave boat names to Guadeloupe and then boarded some of the yachts around. They dropped teams of 2 to check and the finnish boat next to us was also checked. I did the "Lani trick" and waved them a "Bonjours" together wirh Lani and so they ignored us (maybe). At around 11 we went for a walk and enjoyed the village and Lani and the skipper had a loooong nap from around 13 to 15.30. That was great. At around 16.30 we went to shore again and Lani was running around chasing cats and dogs and stretching the nerves of her parents. We had dinner at "Il Cardinale" and Lani had a really big piece of Pizza Cappriciosa while we had grilled vegetables and Rigatoni Diavolo. At 20.00 Lani went to bed and so it is CINEMA time :-) Lets see which movie is still hidden some
