Yay !! We now have all the crew aboard Beth, Kelly,
Joyce and Eileen, poor /lucky Stuart, depending how you look at it
!
We're off, proper now, going in the right
direction, well kind of. Stopping in St Martin, BVI's, Bermuda, Azores and final
destination Lisboa. Well, unless we change our minds (well, Stuart's
mind).
We arrived back in Antigua around 4 am on Sunday
morning and all went back to bed. We woke up and the weather was so bad that
what else was there to do, other than drink 5 buckets of beer, and I'm not
mentioning his name, but someone decided to start on the rum as well
!!
Anyway, collected Eileen and Stuart went to check
us in/out. Those of you that have had the misfortune of dealing with Antiguan
immigration, will be in no doubt that this isn't as easy as it might seem,
regardless of tourism being their biggest cash cow. No, they made us get the boat, moor alongside the Immigration
Office all night and we weren't allowed off the boat,
It was peeing with rain so the mosi's were in
heaven. Dinner was Fajitas and no tortillas were bought, so had it with rice, we
did manage to down a couple of bottles of wine though.
We are now about 5 hours into our trip to St
Martin, we've already caught a King Fish & Tuna, which Kelly is in the
galley cooking up a storm with, we also caught a Barracuda, which was thrown
back. We also all had a go at cutting/clippering Stuart's hair, um can't say
anyone has lost their vocation in life. Oh and we also saw dolphins and flying
fish, all go !!
