We arrived in Antigua on Monday 16 March after a 47 mile tight on the wind crossing from Guadeloupe. At present we are anchored off Jolly Harbour in turquoise water overlooking the island of Montserrat. A pelican is diving for fish.
 
We really enjoyed Dominica, an island with super hiking. It was fun using the local buses and when off the bus routes the locals would offer you a ride so it was easy to get around.
 
The anchorages off the west coast of Guadeloupe were not that good but we did spend some time off Pigeon Island which is part of the Cousteau marine park. Two huge turtles swam around the boat and the snorkelling was very clear and deep with lots of big fish.
