I would not call me a fan of Antigua but perhaps time was too short to explore the posh – poor – people mix of this island/state.
We completed our tasks from the To-Do-List and had short stop at the anchorage for a final swim. After dinner it was time for an overnight sail further North to St. Martin, our very last stop in the Lesser Antilles before heading out to Bermuda.
Looking forward to another serious ocean crossing coming up soon.
After Rainer tuned the sails the lady took off and it appears to me that she is fully aligned with our plans to return to Azores. It was a fast passage and winds above 30kn helped to arrive in Antigua early.
We have dropped the anchor outside of Jolly Harbour and will move into the marina tomorrow morning for another short stay. Only two items are on the To-Do-List: Dentist and Diesel. Once those are done we will move on North.
Rainer and myself got an invite from Cornelia and Volker for a daysail on SY Hexe, an impressive state of the art Outremer Performance Catamaran. It took us along the West coast of Guadeloupe.
Despite the fact that the trip was short it turned out not to be less impressive. Totally different animal compared to our monohull.
In short, another lady sensitive to the wind providing ample space for living!
With Pigeon Island being a stone’s throw away there are a lot of diving activities happening in this place around the picturesque beachfront of Plage de Malendure.
