Ashore on Ile des Saints Wed April 22,08
Went ashore on the first skiff run of the day.
After getting some Euros from the Atm David and I went to the hotel where Rick was staying. We then rented some scooters for the day and tore off down the narrow roads to explore the island of Terre De Haut.
Went up to Fort Napoleon which commands the heights above the town and harbour. The fort is pretty well preserved and a good example of French forts from the mid 1800s. The museum there had a good display on the Battle of the Saints between the British fleet under Rodney and the French fleet under Bouganville. They had couple of nice ship models of vessels in the battle.
After the fort we decided to do a beach tour so we picked up a baguette, cheese and a bottle of cheap wine and headed out to see the sands.
The beaches here are really small, with the exception of one they are all only a couple of hundred feet long. But theyy are usually in nice coves so are fairly picturesque.
The weather was hot and sunny but there was a fairly strong Northerly wind blowing which made sitting the shade quite pleasant.
Our watch is on tomorrow but we get Friday off so I think I will do a bunch of Internet and chilling for the day 
Thanks for reading…
