Antigua to Deshaies, Guadeloupe

May 5, 2014

We had a really nice morning, sailing at least half of the 10 hour trip from Antigua to Deshaies, Guadeloupe.  The winds died down about half way through the trip so we motor-sailed the other half of the way.  We found our anchorage and it is a bit rolly but it is surrounded by a lovely little town and big mountains.  We took D-Time into town and checked in at a local shop that houses the immigration computer.  Fortunately for us, the shop keeper spoke a little english.  Everyone else we have met, speaks just French.  I have my pocket translator ready to pull out.

My friend Debbie shared the following Mark Twain quote with me today - she said it reminded her of us and I thought I would share with you:

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do.  So throw off the bowlines.  Sail away from the safe harbor.  Catch the trade winds in  your sails.  Explore.  Dream.  Discover."
