... that affect the boating world. Most mornings on the VHF radio there was cruiser net that would announce social events, items for sale or wanted, weather and a forum to ask your questions.  There was always a lot going on with dominoes, book swaps, barbeques, pot luck meals, outings, Happy Hours... Between the Yacht club, the various Happy Hours or just by doing laundry it was easy to meet other boaters. On Grenada we were able to get away from the boating world and explore ...

Sunday 05/04/09 St Johns - Antigua Temps Air 28°C Sea 27°C Our berth once again is ideally placed being right alongside the city's main waterfront, straight off the ship to the many bars & cafes.

... around the port and boutiques without being rushed. <br><br>That evening, the ship left Antigua at 6:00pm. I said farewell to the island in my own special way under the watchful eyes of the sun shinning on my face. This island, with all of its beautiful majestic landscape and panoramic views, had become to me a dear friend that I will remember for always and have forever in my heart fond memories.<br><br>Thankful for beauty,<br><br>Mo<br><br>

Christmas day at English Harbour. An alternative to the traditional cold weather Christmas, complete with steel drum renditions of Christmas carols and a dingy full of ice and cheap champagne in the very attractive Nelson's Dockyard in English Harbour - well worth a visit!

... tegen overbelasting, zijn gewoon in de handel wereldwijd te koop. Alleen de bladen zijn uniek en precies uitgekiend voor het systeem. Daar kopen we dus nog maar een reservesetje van. De molen werkt perfect en maakt weinig lawaai, in tegenstelling tot de, ook erg populaire, Air-X die een ware helikopter simuleert en in menige baai de rust verstoort. Met bomvolle accu´s vertrekken we noordwaarts. Steeds hoog aan de wind hakken we 3 eilanden voorbij. Vooral de Tobago Cays ...

Today we arrived in St. John's, Antigua, Antigua and Barbuda. We debarked the ship and walked a bit until we reached what seemed to be some sort of plaza, where a local was balancing a pineapple on her head while grooving to music, hoping to make a few dollars off of us tourists. Later in the day, we took a tour of the island and saw two gorgeous beaches: Dickinson and Runaway.<br>

... Or maybe it's just that they have found "Me Ma" to be a tastier target? I'm not sure whether I'm happy with that or not, I always thought I was attractive to something, even if it was just mozzies!??! Unfortunately, Dave and Glynn are a little behind schedule with the start being delayed and winds going the wrong way. So we have decided to have a look at another island, St Kitts and Nevis (I'm convinced they named it after me but just got the spelling wrong as it's pronounced Niamhus ...

Far more organised, better managed, more european!!! now down to a couple of days cleaning and then a flight home :-(
