Dear Friends
"17:04.46N
61:40.43W"
I was eventually able to upload the two
videos of English Harbour and Falmouth Harbour to the website and they are at
the top of the Home Page. They are a bit cheap and cheerful but it may give you
a feel of what it's like here.
We enjoyed a real Sunday Morning
constitutional last week, walking to the Dockyard and out to Berkeley Point and
returning to Falmouth via the coast. The breeze just about made it bearable.
Here is the view down to Nelson's Dockyard.
 (Nelson's Dockyard on the left and Antigua
Slipway on the right.)
As we were waiting for repairs again Michael
took the opportunity of having a few repairs himself and visited the Dentist in
St Johns to get a few overdue crowns done and had his back sorted out a bit with
the osteopath at 'Tree House' Body Shop in Falmouth. We both miss the long walks
along the coast path in Cornwall and in any case it's too hot here to exercise
vigorously.
The very good news is that the Plotter
turned up on Friday all fit and well with the latest software and we are now
more or less fully functional again. Raymarine in the US must have turned the
thing round in 24 hours as we heard that it only arrived in the US on Tuesday
and on Friday it was back in Antigua.
We are now back at anchor in the E end of
Antigua, near Green Island where we've visited before. We enjoyed a brisk beat
upwind to get here - over 20 knots of breeze the whole way.
Not too much else to report and next week we
hope to continue our journey to Nevis - all being well...
Here's another composite pic
of Falmouth Harbour to keep you entertained.
 Best Wishes
George and Michael
