We Finally Leave Antigua for
Montserrat
 New picture last
night. I have had ear ache from several about the length of Bear's beard
in the last couple of weeks - already cut. I realised the longer it got, passing
the Captain Birdseye stage to the crusty old man stage, that I was losing
the face to which I have become accustomed, so off it came - back to within
normal limits, glad you all agree. Last year we had the dodgy goatee and naked
look which traumatised some, so this year it was an opposite experiment. Add to
the fact Bear is not good at brushing the thing, new habit, what do you expect. Current experiment
- hair growth, but if it looks like freshly made candy floss awaiting the stick
twizzling, off it will come - fair warning. No plait required but to see if the
curly stuff at the rear reappears.
 Anyway back to this morning, up
I jumped, saw Montserrat and off we went. Heading to
a land with an active volcano - Hmmmmm leave it at that
 After a week of virtually solid wind
to thirty knots - as we look back to Jolly Harbour -
only two knots, motoring then
 Half an hour out the winds built, up
went the main and genoa, engine off, pottering at seven knots. Made a huge
change to have a port tack (sails on right). Cracking sail to the north coast
  Just as we got round the corner a huge,
quick squall, we got soaked. Due to sails in
the way, flag ceremony in the
cockpit
 Our first look
at Little Bay, at anchor in a new country, the third
visiting yacht
ALL IN ALL DELIGHTED TO BE HERE
FANTASTIC TO BE IN A COUNTRY I HAVE ALWAYS WANTED TO
VISIT
