On day three we snorkeled near the Pigeon islets, then as boat after boat of scuba divers swarmed in we moved away and spent some time learning to drive the boat in tight circles. We then sailed down to Rivière Sens near Basse Terre to change boats. It seems that Sunsail did send us a boat the previous day but neither of us were able to hail each other on VHF radio. Going into the Rivière Sens marina we bumped the ground, which struck panic into some of us. We moved all our stuff, provisions and refrigerator food from one boat to the other in a frenzied 45 minutes, then after some hair-raising moments casting off from the dock we struck out for Les Saintes.
