We met another cruising yacht that was travelling in the same direction so we sailed together to Deshaies on the north west tip of the main island of Guadaloupe. The sailing was envigorating and we arrived early enough to go ashore and clear out (customs) of Guadaloupe in preparation for our trip further north.
The bay filled up with other yachts and became very uncomfortable. People insist on anchoring very close and because of the depth they hang on plenty of anchor chain which makes their swinging circle large. It's not uncommon for yachts to clash together because of this and we are always afraid of getting damaged as a consequence. Many of the charter yachts don't care and they are very inexperienced.
We were happy that this was just an overnight stop.
