5 April Petite Anse D'Arlet

Petite Anse D'Arlet is a pretty village with lovely old houses and a postcard pretty church a couple of hours' sail north from Sainte Anne. We would have picked up a mooring ball if one had been available but with them all occupied we took the alterntive and anchored to the south of the town in Anse Chaudiere. Since we visited anchoring is now forbidden to preserve the seabed ecosystem. Before we left I snorkelled from the boat and was horrified to see our chain lying near a barrel sponge. Closer to the cliffs I saw more damage to the sea grass caused by chains dragging back and forth. It's shameful when you realise the damage you can inflict in ignorance. We stayed one night and only because it was too late to leave.
