We left Antigua on 8th Feb for Nevis 50 miles away.  We had a great sail with the Parasailor up and anchored at Pinneys beach arriving in the dark and lead in by Bobs torch light who had arrived a few hours ahead of us! (We weren't slow, but had got held up by yet another shut customs office!)

We had caught 2 fish, a Dorado and a Tuna but Chris's stomach was not up for fish - too much gutting! So only I had the sashimi that night! (my favourite :-)) Instead we treated Bob and Gill to a Red Tuna and a Green Dorado Thai curry the following night. Fantastic!

We took a 'taxi tour', visiting hot springs, plantations, a Nelson museum and marriage tree and fancy hotels:
 
 
'Montpellier' Plantation - Princess Diana stayed here with her boys.....we had a drink only - way out of our league!
