french west indian treats

We're so predictable it's silly. accras de morue (fried cod) are always being ordered when arriving to Guadeloupe. As well as boudin antillais (blood sausage) of course. Not to mention how we attack the shelves of the grocery stores where yoghurt, cheese, wine, meat, bread and patés are the golden treasures.

Sweaty in Guadeloupe

It is so hot here I'm melting. Constantly need to add frozen fruit sorbet into my system to be able to deal with this oppressing heat. You might think I'm joking but I would change a couple of days of my life to any cold city with chilly fall winds in a heartbeat. If it just wasn't that far away.. 

Here's btw some of what we're listening to at the moment:

The way you wanna - Feivo (new track by Alex brother)
And there goes the sun down, finally we're able to breath, think and live normally again. Happy Thursday everyone, we'll celebrate the sunset with some barbecued chicken and red wine on the beach tonight.

The world in my eyes


Just a few of my favorite shots from this month. Location: La Désirade airport, Les Saintes. Model: the sexiest man alive. Here accompanied by one of the most genius songs/tracks ever written/produced. Don't forget to observe Dave on stage at 1:31 and 1:43 please, I'm dying of his impeccable sense of style and perfection in every goddam detail. Fucking dying.

Beautiful Saintes

We are back in the peaceful Saintes again. We've been around here now quite some times, so much that people have started to remember us in the bars and on the streets and it feels kind of homey to get back here once more. This main island of Les Saintes, Terre de Haut, is a lovely little fishing port where time moves slowly and people from an interesting melange of backgrounds seem to be living in a comfortable pace. Les Saintes is unique in the way that it is one of very few islands in the Lesser Antilles with a majority white population, the reason being that not much slaves were brought to or used here during the colonial times. Most of the early settlers were from Breton and Norman in France and apparently there is a strong Breton cultural influence on the island. Nevertheless they all seem to have mixed up well with the black/Caribbean people, and they have developed their own Saintois look which is quite interesting and equally beautiful.

So while we're at it, here's another animal for you. Some sort of pelican most likely. Him and his buddies were found in Les Saintes, Guadeloupe. We've got to get a hold on a proper bird book soon, have encountered so many interesting ones lately.

Where are you going little turtle?

He/she wasn't in fact that small. Maybe half a meter over the back of his shell. (1,6 foot)

I love you guys. When it comes to hair and bikinis, you're commenting and "liking" like never before. Maybe I should stop posting pictures of interesting animals, the beautiful nature in which we live, the life aboard a sailing boat and on the sea and the philosophies around it all - they don't seem to affect you half as much. LOL. /T

Rainy in Les Saintes

We arrived to the islands of Les Saintes in Guadeloupe around 6 am this morning. Tired from the first over-night passage in a while, we passed out straight after anchoring up in the bay. Slept for some hours and are now up and about to check out the main island. Very lovely, unfortunately though it is still raining and will most possibly do so for five more days, according to the weather reports. So we'll spend some time with what we do best: trying out the local food, snacks and drinks. Maybe we'll have a longer walk around the island later on, or perhaps we just lock ourselves in with fresh movies, chips and peanuts.. Mmm.. this island life is almost too easy at times. J'adore. /T
