Yesterday we toured the Guiana Space Center which is the launch site for the European Space Agency. Here they launch the Ariane 5, Soyuz and Vega (new, small launcher still in the qualification process) launchers. There will be a launch on July 5 of an Ariane5 which we hope to see from the boat.
Outside of that we have been doing neccessary boat chores. Many fuel runs with jerry cans, tracking down propane, provisions, laundry, etc. It is amazing how much time these tasks can take.
Next we plan to go to the Salvation Islands. One of the islands is Devil's Island, the site of a former penal colony where notorious French criminals were sent in the late 1800s. This is where Papillon was interred.
We are hoping for clean water so we can spend some time swimming and relaxing.
