Day 5 – Basse Terre & Chutes du Carbet Waterfall"Basse Terre" is a comical misnomer for Gaudeloupe's main island. It translates to "low land" but it refers to the tallest half of Guadeloupe where you can find rainforest, mountains, and an active volcano.

Day 3 – Adventure Ashore, Les des SaintesWe awoke in a breezy anchorage, nestled between the islands Terre-de-Haut and Îlet à Cabrit in the Les des Saintes island grouping in southwest Guadeloupe.
