11 January 2026 Ilet a Cabrit

Back to a favourite spot and back to just hanging out, busy doing nothing after a month of ‘work’ in the marina.

Ilet a Cabrit (Goat island) is one of the small, uninhabited islands of Les Saintes with 13 boat moorings, a dive mooring and beautiful clear water. We could have stayed on a mooring in town, but this is quieter and it’s not too far in the dinghy.

I feel like I’m on holiday; dipping in the water for a swim, time to read books and time to chat. Our one commitment is to feed the two feral cats who live here. They’ve been here for about a year, both female and both look healthy. I think visitors give then morsels from their packed lunch. We take a can of cat food, nibbles and freshwater each evening. Without much imagination we named one Ginger and the other Snowy.

Miss Ginger


For our Polly David has been catching these silvery fish for her.  Such is his love he fillets them we cut them into small pieces before freezing.  Polly's a pescatarian - no meat is passing her lips, no tinned cat food, not tinned tuna.  I wouldn't say she's spoilt, but... 

Fish for Polly

We are such softies, but think if it were Polly we’d like to know she is fed and watered each day.
