Antigua and Barbuda

The flattest Island we’ve seen for a long time…

We were heavily heeled and sailed upwind towards Antigua. I don’t enjoy being heeled over, it very easy to fall off the boat, but you do go faster. Jolly Harbour was our first taste of Antigua and it was beautiful, there are many postcard perfect beaches. We spent a few nights in the marina and said a sad goodbye to Shona and Al and a big hello to maintenance. Archie continued his diving lessons and has become an excellent diver. He is trying to teach me!

We left Jolly and sailed/motored upwind again to English Harbour. This was our home for two weeks whilst spending quality time with Donald and Fran. We then left to Saint Maartin and return two weeks later to spend a week with friends. We swam with stingrays and had a ball. After they left we picked up another set of friends before heading North to Barbuda where the snorkeling was amazing and visited a fantastic frigate bird colony.

Hugs to all!
