We left Deshaies at midnight on Saturday because the anchor was dragging and surrounding boats getting closer! Easier to move north than try and reset in the dark in yet another very full bay.  My first experience of night sailing was not improved by the lack of sleep. Seas very bumpy as heading into the wind and without the horizon to look at I was seasick too.  Not too bad though as I have now sailed 200 miles and this was the first time.  Arrived in Antigua at 08.30 and anchored next to The Maisie-Rose. This is Macs boat, the friend who Claude crossed the Atlantic with in 2005.  Many super-yachts live here - much money, many crew, few owners!
