The Saints (Guadeloupe) with lots of pics!

Local Iguanas are all over the island!





Fort Napoleon





Looking down from the fort to the bay where Cat Tales is anchored.



Looking down from the fort on a bay on the north side of the island. Look at the clarity of the water! We walked to the fort and 3 different beaches all in one day!



The barracuda we caught the other day on the way from Dominica to the Saints. It was difficult reeling him in with our boat speed of 8 knots!



Below are Matthew and Rachael from the boat "Orchid". Matthew stopped by earlier in the day and said that he had heard Cat Tales talking to Nahanni River for the past 4 islands and needed to stop by to introduce himself. Since Doug and Wendy from "Nahanni River" were already aboard for a barracuda lunch, we had Orchid over later on in the afternoon. They are a young couple who are out for the next several years. Rachael intends to go back to University and finish up her degree. Nice way to spend a Friday afternoon!!



Alexander and Nicholas getting some home schooling aboard Cat Tales. Opening wine bottles is quite a skill!





Here are some underwater shots:

I took this shot of an octopus awhile ago while in Bequia and felt the need to share it with you. At first it's difficult to make out what it is, but I worked on the photo and think you can see it on the 3rd picture down.
