Segeln in der Karibik - 1. Teil_ Guadeloupe.

Hello I'm reaching out to you from the Caribbean of Guadeloupe For those who don't know me yet I'm Martin This is my Jumbo a Bavaria 34 Holiday We are located near the city of Pointe-à-Pitre I hope I pronounced it correctly I arrived here yesterday after 3 084 nautical miles and 27 days Having started from Lanzarote I have crossed the Atlantic with one hand A great ride I am looking forward to a nice time in the Caribbean here Unfortunately there was no mooring available in the marina yesterday That's why I'm anchored here I have another chance to go today maybe there's still a berth available I did a good shopping yesterday it all went well I could also stay here for another day I'm going back over in the dinghy right away and will go again Now let's take a close look at the Caribbean Yes it worked here with the berth at the Bastillefort Marina Everything's set I'll be here for two days Now I'm enjoying the marina life in peace Of course first thing is to do the laundry It really feels good to finally have a fixed place here After 27 days on the Atlantic and then one anchoring night here It's nice I'm happy and enjoying my stay here now Hello a beautiful day here at the Bastillefort Marina I have one more day here and now let's take a closer look at the Marina So here is the harbor office Yes a few nice boats here The Harbor Restaurant Yes a small lunch now here in one of the nice restaurants So here we go We are getting ready to depart Yes let's wait for the Marinero to help us with the departure here Yes and then we'll see Goodbye Bastillefort-Marina Very very pleasant stay Yes wind force 5 to 6 knots Wind force 6 here Yes crossing out of the bay now Oh the lovely Windewinkel but it doesn't matter It's great fun being back under sail here Yes great Yes wind force 6 here at the moment Yes the waves are pretty decent about 2 to 3 meters Sometimes a stronger wave comes in Our goal today is Archipel Descent So one of the two islands is called Terre d'Eau here I hope you all pronounced it roughly correctly for all the French people among you There is a buoy field near the city here Arnsteburg Yes and I hope I get a spot there Or get a free buoy That would be good but first let's make sure we get a bit away from the land We're currently in deeper water About 80 meters under the keel It's already getting a bit better But everything else is fine Turn to the starboard side Yes we have about 10 to 12 nautical miles ahead Under way Yes our goal ahead We want the bay clean Yes let's see Yes it was 27 nautical miles down here The lake was quite rough I was reminded a bit of the Canadian islands by the wind strength 6 Yes and then I had to go around once It was a bit too close to the other yachts ahead Now I'm all the way at the end of the field I have a 50-meter chain out The wind is still blowing here It is gusting partially Also up to 24 knots I have another anchor here for safety Hung out Just loosely for now Also loosely tied to the deck here That means if the other one should slip forever now then the other one will take over I haven't driven it straight yet This is always a bit difficult Hold on to the line I always have a little worry that something might get tangled up That's why I just left it hanging loosely for now Yes everything was fine I will go over there later with this thing here I have already made that clear It just makes me happy to the extreme Cheers Ah delicious Great Yes I'm not going over today anymore Enjoy the peaceful evening aboard Lovely the evening sun here Wonderful view here of the island Yes beautiful Yes the night was pretty okay The anchor held very well The wind was up here this morning up to wind force 7 Right now it's a bit better again Wind force 5 Yes I wanted to drive into the town now I think it's a bit quieter now Maybe not Let's see There' s another storm coming One can't help but feel a bit uneasy when you're here now The ship is left alone But keep the second anchor outside which is hanging loose here as a reserve that won 't work Let's see A nicer smaller town here truly Caribbean Yes we are on our way The two anchors have just been raised Yes if you have to do it by hand without electric anchors Uiuiui I've pretty much got the hang of it by now Yes a good fitness program But it took quite a while Yes we are here now at wind force 7 On our way to Lehasse To find the next anchorage I don't think we have a chance To get a spot at any marina here There are so few marinas here and so many sailors Even here the buoy field was full And twice as many sailboats are anchored here I think the demand is at least twice as high as the supply here Yes let's see I'm probably not the only one who has had the idea to come here in this wind To drive to the other side That's also going to continue like this for a whole week Crazy I had internet for a moment yesterday in a restaurant and I looked up the weather forecast for next week Yes quite nice waves here And indeed another whole week will load here around wind force 6 to 7 But now we are heading to the other side of Guadeloupe We are now on the leeward side of Guadeloupe A bit unsettled weather today A little rain The wind too Wind force 4 to 6 That goes back and forth I was a bit confused here for a moment Yes I haven't even asked about the Marina in front We don't have a chance there I would also like to make a mooring stop Yes everything went well 20 nautical miles now here to Anse à la Barque Bay Yes nice here Quiet little Anchor dropped to 7.8 meters 30 meters of chain deployed Probably a bit too much There's hardly any wind here Now I'll see if I stay two nights or three I might go over in the dinghy later or tomorrow I want to take a look over there It already looks pretty good Yes then let's take a look First the well-earned Anchor Beer It's moving on already today It was just one night anchored here So here is the bay that I am heading for Here I would like to drop the anchor Yes some clouds again I hope it rains later Pigeon Island Yes it looks good A short drive down here I am now here in the bay Ile des Pigeons I know I probably don't pronounce it right But that's just the way it is here No everything looks great over here Infrastructure a few restaurants I have the dinghy already clear I will swim a bit right away Then go over there and take a look at it Yes the weather will get a little bit better It is still drizzling a bit now and then But the sun is coming out more often now Everything is fine so far Yes I'm just curious So if it's good I'll stay here wo nights or three nights It's making a really great impression so far Yes I drove the dinghy over to the small town First I need to eat Another one of the many showers Yes a nice day The weather has also recovered a bit Everything is good so far I'm looking forward to the sunset Yes hello it rained a lot again during the night I caught a little something in the water here Yes I'll take the dinghy and go over to the other side Look around to see if I can find a store anywhere I would also really like to have lunch here in the countryside today Let's see So I have this here a small mooring place was found Yes I hope I'm not disturbing anyone here A laundromat Cool Pharmacy Good Supermarket Yes well stocked Now we are heading back This is great here This is a nice place here for a quick stop So now I'm here in the next district Let me see if I can get something to eat here There's the Jumbo Goodbye Pigeon Yes it was quite nice here So I just hauled in the anchor It's always all manual with me The electric anchor line is definitely at the top of the list Yes it was quite nice here The night was totally restless Also the second anchor last night Once again out Pulled loose here yesterday afternoon Phew Quite a bit of work that was So now let's take a look Something in the north will surely be okay So this is our goal Yes everything went well We were just a few nautical miles over here Under power yes I have dropped the anchor at 7 meters 14 meters of chain deployed It's just a bit of a look around to see where one is here In the Ankerfeld it is reasonably integrated Yes that fits fairly well Now I will wait and see again here But as long as I leave the ship here alone I don't know if everything will hold But right now it seems like the anchor is holding Yes then there is now first of all the well-earned Ankerbier Yes it looks very nice there Yes good morning Quite a good wind here Wind speed 5 to 6 Schiff is holding on quite well to the anchor chain I have the second anchor out here as well Yes I wanted to Let me go over to Vicky right away and take a look at the place So I'm now here in D That's how it's actually pronounced I just learned here Now let's take a look at the place Renaissance Rovanie Yes it was quite nice but a bit windy at noon Yes I'm on my way here to Port Louis It's located in the northeast of Guadeloupe That means we now have to go against the current Ost wind is crossing Wind force 6 today here Waves are also not to be ignored 2 to 3 meters It was a bit quieter a while ago Let's see It will be a longer sailing day for the 20 Tomorrow I can just manage 80 degrees here against the true wind Okay that would be a turning angle of 160 degrees Yes maybe it's a bit better at another point My breakfast So we just made the turn The angle is actually pretty good now It looks like we're going there There's about 22 nautical miles down to Port Louis Yes I'm a bit curious It's running right now Yes a glorious sailing day 56 nautical miles have been here down I had actually thought that I would be here in the Marina Port Louis The parking space is available but the entrance is actually too shallow We can't get in I've tested it Stuck Yes but I got free on my own again but I also had to hoist the sails both times to get that far I just need to get out of here No nothing big happened I've already got everything here I was cut off as far as I could tell There is a small scratch on the propeller blade on the starboard side Probably a small coral attached below Anti-fouling is off But not through the fermentation tank Yes I was going to maybe take the boat to St Maarten once before then in the I'll go back again take the anger out of the water and do it again under the watercraft Then I'll participate Yes I hope for a quiet stop here The first drops are falling again at leas Everything around me is free here That means I am not in conflict with other boats here That was a bit of a problem in the other bay which was a bit narrower Yes but now there's the well-deserved first Craft Beer after the A successful sailing day and the excitement here on the way to the marina Yes hello I'm now here in the Marina Port Lul drove here with the thing There are indeed some keel yachts in here I don't know how Have they come back in or are they going to come back out here Yes let's look at the place now Let's try to find a supermarket then let's look And there behind is the Jumbo Yes here we go into the town A small monument Yes nice little restaurants Yes a small ceramic shop Yes the city has seen better days Yes this looks like the supermarket everything is quite nice here I got some ice cream at the supermarket I did a little shopping Now I'm going back to Jumbo and maybe over for lunch later Yes my last day here on Guadeloupe I've seen a lot here in the last twelve days Pitre Port Marina Bas-Fort It was very very beautiful And then for sure down below This archipelago of sand We had been to some very beautiful places below We had a lot of wind in the last ten twelve days Actually the wind we needed on Manantí Jumbo and me Well Yes then I'll be back after two nights or three nights I don't even remember exactly how long I had been lying down there I then ended up on the leeward side here which was quite nice Here at Pigeon Island that was a nice stop Then here in the A stop at the small town D It was also a very beautiful stop And here I must also say Port Louis was also very pleasant Here is the anchoring spot itself Very very beautiful Good anchoring ground here Sandy bottom then occasionally some of these Corals Also the anchor holds here beautifully It is also very very shallow here That fit well I also just had a good meal over here It surprises me that there is so little sailing here It probably doesn't fit from the wind Probably it still doesn't fit from the route here Yes the loop was quite nice Tomorrow it will then Continue I've already secured this thing here I did this time a bit differently I pulled it up at the stern That's what he did after all I've had quite a bit of fun while sailing here Of course it's best to be on a ship here but then it's also much more work Pull it up quickly from the back here Try that Let's see how it is Then I'll enjoy the last afternoon here Last night here near Port Louis Tomorrow it's to Antigua
