Reef View Apartments Antigua

... waves) and picked up a few dogs on route. Just above the main village there was a bar with a great view so we stopped for a beer for a reasonable price (about $2). On the way down we passed some little girls who came up to both of us and gave us big hugs. Very sweet but how unusual! Then we decided to have one more drink at a beach bar attached to a quiet hotel. There we made the HUGE mistake of not asking the price and it turned out that a rum and coke was something like $15 ...

Dear Blog,

Another day, another adventure. We arrived at Antigua, Antigua and Barbuda at 8:00am this morning. Today promises to be a beautiful warm and exciting day as the sun is already rising along the island and showing off its bright golden rays.

Antigua boasts one of the Caribbean's most spectacular coastlines with secluded coves and beaches. The capital is St. John's and approximately 70,000 people live on the island. The official ...

... area. Even John seemed to be able to cope with our boisterousness. The fun days in Deep Bay swimming, walking and just relaxing in the shade of the coconut palms out of the sting of the hot Caribbean Sun. Night times spent thumping and jumping around the boat as the testosterone rose to dangererous levels and the screams reached fever pitch. Ahh the good ol days! But now they are gone! So what to do now? How to get motivated again? Well we spend a lot of time yacht ...

... Its capital is St. John's. The official language of the nation is English, often spoken with a distinct Caribbean accent, and the official currency is the Eastern Caribbean dollar, although U.S. dollars are widely accepted.

... in Taiwan I think... Anyways, I plan on buying a new one soon so I'll have a ton of pictures to put up then. I've had a few good adventures since the last post, the best of which was an un-guided hike through the rain forrest in Dominica. A group from the showband went out early and hiked straight up a mountain into the forrest, and we stopped at a waterfall. There were some cool lizards and oddly enough - big ...

... the bar (4-7), all drinks are half price. George is in the home of owner Philip George-John. In his restored Georgian family manse, the host will feed you well and show you a good time. Many of the daily specials are based on longstanding Antiguan recipes. The best time to go to George for an authentic experience is on Saturday, when island specialties are served, including goat water, souse, conch water, and pepperpot stew. For dessert, trythe creamy rice pudding! You will ...

... more" philosophy when it comes to clothing. Seeing women with no tops on is common place on the boats. When we arrived in Marigot Bay getting ready to drop the anchor, I heard some sort of power tool buzzing on the next boat over. I looked and was greeted by the butt of a totally naked man bent over doing some woodwork. I wondered if there shouldn't be some sort of warning on the tool like on some other appliances "Don't use toaster while in the bath" this one ...

... sunset before dinghying into shore. I asked Al to photograph that sunset so we could show our grandchild not realizing that at that moment Denise was giving birth! We enjoyed an outstanding and very reasonable dinner at Trappas. Mike and Angie were there with an American couple, Gust and Jan who had also sailed from the Med on the ARC. We visited briefly on our way out and suddenly they broke into Happy Birthday which of course was joined by all dining. As Al blushed we agreed ...

... lack of ability to read or do much of anything while the waves are crashing about. Around day 10 or so, Chris and I were on deck figuring out how to rig the spinnaker pole for the genoa. As I was waiting further instruction, looking in the water, I saw a bright blue spot of color. It passed and I thought it might have been someone's torn sail cover just below the surface of the water. Then I saw it again - a beautiful, bright sky blue color in the water ...

SAINT JOHN ISLAND







We are at St. John and it is 07.00 am. It is the most "Virgin" out of all the other Virgin Islands .




Our sailing ship stops in the Ocean, and another one comes to take us to the shore. We get in line and we step in the smaller one which carries us out.
