Location: Les Saintes
Today was a day of adventure and exploration for the Ocean Star Crew. Getting up with the sunrise, we feasted on some homemade blueberry muffins made by our Chefs. Next, we headed to shore to explore Terre De Haute, the main inhabited island. Terre De Haute offers a variety of delicious bakeries, restaurants, and great souvenir shops. On the far side of the island, there is a small airport with a beautiful beach facing the Atlantic, and on the top of one of the peaks lies the Great Napoleon Fort; after a long day of walking around, people-watching, and stuffing our faces with delicious gelato. We made our way back to the boat for an afternoon free dive. Just 100 yards from where we are anchored lay a wreck of an old tug boat. It’s in a shallow grave and easily accessible by snorkeling. We enjoyed our afternoon exercise and sat down for dinner. After lasagna, the Oceanography class presented their projects for the group. It’s a calm, hot night, and we look forward to a new day.
