Montserrat to Guadeloupe

Wednesday 11th June
Having moved Daisy around to Rendezvous Bay the previous evening we decided to go ashore and snorkel. Rendezvous Bay has the only white sand beach on the island, and is not easy to get to. On land its only accessible on foot, along a steep trail over a bluff that is not for the weak or faint hearted, or you can anchor in the bay and dinghy in as we were going to do.
We attempted to snorkel, but the sea was too rough and we had to rescue the dinghy more than once from being washed out to sea, having been unable to get the anchor to set, and there was nowhere to tie up on the beach. After about 30 minutes we gave up, returned to the boat and set sail for Guadeloupe.
We weighed anchor at midday, and had a pleasant sail across with a gentle steady wind averaging between 12 - 18 knots, and dropped anchor in Deshaies Bay, Guadeloupe at 6pm. We were too late to clear customs so stayed on board for the evening. Our South African friends were there in the bay also. I cooked Grilled curry spiced monkfish for dinner with a pomegranate cous cous, and a lemon mousse for desert.
