Nova Vita is moored in the anchorage at Îles des Saintes, Guadeloupe, while Alison and crew make an early-morning walking visit to Fort Napoléon on the island of Terre-de-Haut. They leave the dinghy at the dinghy dock, walk through town, and climb the steep hill to the fort, arriving around 8:30 a.m. to beat the crowds.1:30 Entry costs seven euros.7:28 The fort dates to 1867 and includes a moat, a drawbridge-style entrance, cannon emplacements now planted with tropical flowers, well-maintained gardens with cactus and yucca, and a museum with exhibitions inside.6:06 Views from the walls take in Marigot Bay, mainland Guadeloupe, Marie-Galante, and Dominica.8:21 Wildlife on the walk includes the crew's first wild iguana sighting, two goats in the moat, a lizard that steals a piece of orange, and a hummingbird spotted on the descent.3:56 Scooters and golf buggies are available for hire, but the crew judges the walk manageable on foot.2:43 The crew plans to depart the following day, rounding the north of the island on the way back to Dominica.18:04
