Marie Gallant

Well we have been on Marie Gallant for four nights and have not gone ashore or seen anyone. Tomorrow we leave for Dominica and will get off the boat for a couple of days next week.
We arrived in Anse Canot on Wednesday and stayed untill after my fitness class on Friday morning. It was a beautiful anchorage, with about 10 other boats. However, we just admired it from Lorena, as we did t even drop the dinghy. It was rolly as all the anchorage in Guadeloupe have been so far.
On Friday we moved to a remote anchorage, near Pointe de Maréchal (between Saint Louis and Grand Burg). The sail over was only motoring as we dodged traps for 5nm… not fun! We were going to only stay for a day or two and then move to Grand Burg but decided against it.
Instead, we swam, wrote, read relaxed, sanded, and varnished. We also took the dinghy and walked on the beach & I put on the registration numbers and T/T Lorena on it. I also decided to try washing clothes by hand the way the Montreal sailors (Chris and Denis) had suggested. However, on opening I inhaled it and it burnt my nose and lungs and made me sick. We had to call poison control.... Who advised that if I started getting more symptoms (ammonia inhalation) to head back -- hmmm.... It would take us 2-3 weeks to sail back to the USA, I guess she didnt understand geography when we said we were in Guadeloupe.
Today was sluggish.... I wrote, read, finished Christmas shopping online for family, did some sanding and napped. We also went for aswim and made water-- it is so clear here!
Both yesterday and today, I got to go virtual shopping with Ashlynn and Robyn for wedding dresses. Although, In person would have been nice, this was also awesome!! 💕Read more
