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!)
On our way to Nevis with the parasailor
up
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!
'Montpellier' Plantation
Nelsons marriage tree - where he married Fanny
Nisbet from Nevis
Nisbet Plantation Beach Club........Wow! we can
but look - give me Lazy Dawn any day!
