1/6/23 Hiking Isle Cabrit

Fort Josephine, Isla Cabrit, Des Saintes

This morning we went for a hike on Isle Cabrit.  When we landed our dingy on the beach, we were the only ones exploring the island.  Fort Josephine is located on this small island.  While the fort and its out-buildings were in ruins,  we were able to enjoy beautiful views.

Wild goats roam the islands and we saw several kids looking for their mamma goats.  They were adorable!  After the fort was abandoned, we believe that a company tried to make a hotel on the island because we saw some sort of pump in one of the buildings.  It was a terrific hike for this sunny morning.  However, there are trees on the islands with warnings on them.  They produce small apples and the warnings indicate that the trees are poisonous.  After we returned to our boat, we quickly donned our swimsuits and jumped in the water to be sure that any sap that we rubbed up against was off of us.  The water felt so refreshing and was the perfect end to our hike.
