Sainte Anne, Guadeloupe

Today we sailed over to Sainte Anne, which is a bay on the southeastern side of Guadeloupe’s mainland.  This appears to be a vacation spot, as many tourists are walking up and down the road along the shore.  Shops and restaurants line the beach.  It is a very busy area, as approximately a dozen kids are taking windsurfing lessons right in front of our boat.

Other individuals are wing boarding, sailing sunfish sailboats, and whizzing by on hobie cats.  In the distance we can see kite surfers.  There is plenty to watch.  All of this sailing is taking place in this bay because it is well protected by a reef.  So, the water is calm, clear, and a beautiful turquoise color.  Unfortunately three other boats ended up anchoring in this little area, which made us extremely nervous.  We hung fenders out on both sides of the boat in case the boats hit one another.  We were lucky and the wind kept us blowing away from each other.
