Guadeloupe

After 23 days sailing on the waves of the Atlantic Ocean - I can recognise the lights in the distance during my night watch. Is it even possible? After almost one month on the sea - we just crossed the Atlantic? The joy invades me - we succeeded, we arrived into the Caribbean.

 

I want to shout a name, a name of a desirous woman and tell her in her ear that I love her more then ever: ''It's done I just arrived on your side of the world'' - but she is still far away to hear my words.

​

I am tired. From time to time I had to do 8 hours of a nightwatch. The fact of arriving on the other side of the world excites me. Caribbean islands and their mountains rise directly from the sea.

It is Guadeloupe the island on which I take my first steps. In the distance I hear the drums and I just want to take the sand in my hands and realize that all this is not a mere illusion.
