... it is like eating fiberglass!) and simmered with spices) to start. Then we each got a plate with a half lobster, creamed callaloo, plantains, salad, rice and beans - all simple but yummy. And the bill for two with drinks was $26.   Carriacou - It was sad to leave Grenada as it was a place we both could have easily stayed for a few months. But the broker was 400 miles away! So into wind (this was often the case, especially for the first few passages) we went to Grenada's ...

... our route around some of the islands beaches we took in Half Moon Bay which is, well you just run out of adjectives after a while, but it's a beautiful sight. The trip was rounded off by a swimming stop in Long Bay Beach, just beeeeaaaautiful. After a fairly long and bumpy journey to just jump into the beautiful azure blue seas of the Caribbean was just perfict, just pirfict man. All good things come to and end and all too soon we ...

... was built in 1725 and served as a base for the English naval squadron patrolling the West Indies. After a short informative walk with the guide, we were able to tour the entire dockyard on our own. This proved to be quite interesting and beautiful pictures were taken once again. After the tour, we enjoyed our free time to explore the mall museum, art gallery, gift shop and boutiques. We were also served a complimentary drink prior to our departure ...

... functioneren als ballast en sta in de weg. We hebben 5 korte baan wedstrijdjes nodig om elkaar te leren kennen en de juiste tactiek vast te stellen. In de laatste worden we derde van tien. Zoals we wel verwacht hadden is het op de feestjes drukker met mensen die we nog nooit gezien hebben en die je ook zeker niet op een zeiljacht zou vermoeden. De ervaren zeilers zijn dan al lang weer uit het gezichtsveld verdwenen. Voor veel te veel geld eten we een hapje mee en ...

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>

... he was right!!! Back to Antigua - Thursday was our anniversary....Started with a surprise.....baby turtles - SERIOUSLY....there was a cry on the beach "the turtles are hatching" - literally over 100 baby turtles started climbing out of this hole in the sand (making clear why that area had been marked off with yellow construction tape). No pictures yet (camera was back ...

... as there's only a few people in the waiting room. I know understand my timing is wrong, yet, cannot figure if I'm ahead...or late and the flight departed! I patiently wait to see a rep at Air Canada's desk, no rep, no local clock. Panick stricken, I turn to the young Chinese girl sitting beside me and politely ask her if she knows about any flight delays. She kindly advise me that the plane is delayed by ...

... St. Barts to Gustavia instead of the short motor around the point. It was great fun to see the island from the water and then to rent a car and see all of the island by land as well. We LOVE St. Barts! Three visits in one month were not too many though this time we ate out less. On day four a huge swell worked its way into the Port of Gustavia and the dozens of motor and sail mega yachts had to vacate the pier. The dinghies on the dinghy docks were rising and ...

We rented a scooter with http://www.antiguanice.com/chekes/ . This was the island were we had the most fun. It's almost flat; roads have no signals but are ok and traffic is not bad. We went to English Harbour, a boaters' paradise, and then around the south coast to Long Bay beach. Beautiful place. In the afternoon we toured the north ...
