Family visit

It was a happy day when I saw my sister and her family again in Guadeloupe. After only seeing each other on Skype for eight months, I surprised them by going to meet them at the airport at Point a Pitre.

We got together a couple of times after that, the last time when we sailed along the coast. We had intended to go to Marie Galante, but some squalls followed by a total dying of the wind for an hour or so made some faces go slightly green and we headed back to port for some snorkeling and swimming to the island off Gosier.

We did a tour on Guadeloupe and visited a wonderful waterfall with a natural slide to the water's edge. No small wonder that I felt compelled to try it out. Most of the others preferred the jump from above into the pool, so a lot of fun was had by all.

Tomorrow we're going to Iles des Saintes so a nice prospect for the next few days. Also it should rain less which is also a change from recent days.
