5 March 2026, Thursday, Deshaies, Guadeloupe


We wanted to leave today but the Customs situation made that impossible. Have to go in there this morning.

They open at 7:30 am apparently and we are there about 8:30 am. It’s a construction trailer basically and one window is partially open which is a good sign but still, the door is locked and knocking on it yields no results. I decide to wait by the trailer while Christy goes in search of some provisions. At least there is a decent bench in the shade to wait at. 5 minutes later a young guy comes up, looks like a sailor but turns out he is the Customs guy. 10 minutes later we’re all done and checked out. I go in search of Christy.

We stumble about the town a bit, I’m trying to get cell service to call Lloyd but when I do, he seems unavailable. Eventually we just go back to Milu. I manage to get through to Lloyd and do some other business activities. Like pay the C$10K I owe in HST.

Christy snorkels and cleans more of the boat bottom, we generally get ready for an early departure tomorrow morning. We were planning on a 6 am departure but Christy talks me into making it 5 am. We thought about going in for one last dinner in Guadeloupe but never do. Instead, we lounge about and get to bet early.

A stunning sunset!
