hiked to Fort Napoleon at the top of the hill overlooking the harbor
and to the north the site of the Battle of The Saintes in which the
British navy defeated the French in 1782. Despite their loss in 1782,
today Guadeloupe and The Saints are French!
This was the only clear day we've had since we arrived, it's been
constant rain and squalls. The town is beautiful, clean, fresh and
being French, has great food. Unfortunately the anchorage is fairly
exposed and has a constant stream of ferry and fishing boat traffic
which has been slamming us around quite a bit. A good dinner tonight
and then we're going to look for a little smoother place to drop our
hook.
