Day 216 Devil's Island, French Guiana

It was a hot and humid day at Devil’s Island…..  Never saw Papillion.  We actually were on Iles Du Salut, Devil’s Island is just offshore along with Ile Ste-Joseph.  Sounds more exciting when they call the port of call Devil’s Island.  Anyway, just love it here.  Been here a few times and I always find it very lush and teeming with wildlife.  The old prison buildings in decay against the backdrop of lush vegetation is pretty beautiful to me.  Anyway, very nice day….  We are late sailing away due to some technical difficulties, hope we don’t have to spend the night here….. scary!

  1. Very interesting. I saw the Papillion film and also read the book when I was young.
