Guadeloupe Bridges Remain Closed

(DATE: 2013-06-15) Ariane Graf of Marina Bas-du-Fort reports: The Authorities of Guadeloupe have informed us that boaters can no longer use the shortcut through the Riviere Salee, as the bridges are now closed and are expected to remain closed for at least another year. You will now have to round the island, either by the leeward side (Deshaies, Pigeon Island, Basse-Terre) or by Saint Francois and Pointe des Chateaux to the east. The Marina assures visitors of a special welcome gift for making the extra effort to come their way. For more information visit www.marinaguadeloupe.com.
