Description:
The anchorages along the northeast coast of south America are quite different from the ones in the Caribbean: Almost always are we by ourselves as there are not many cruising yachts sailing these waters.

Have you figured out what this is ? These are ants, hurrying along and carrying leaves many times the size of their own body.

We met one of the workers, a Peruvian, who showed us around the islands. He had been working on the islands for three years and surely knew his way around.

We were lucky to meet Joel (all in white), a French who lives in French Guyana. He showed us around Cayenne, the capital, and helped us with things we had to do such as find gas.

Joel works for customs. Finally his friends from customs showed up to inspect our boat. Off course, with Joel on board of WILDLIFE, we had nothing to fear.

Description:
The marina of 'Degrades de Cannes', French Guyana. This marina is located south of Cayenne, the capital, as there are no more yachting facilities in Cayenne. Some of the boats at the marina seemed to have never left this place.

Description:
The marina of Degrades de Cannes: There was nothing there except for a bathroom. Without Joel, who picked us up with his car, we would have been unable to do any of our repairs or gas bottle exchange.
