Merry Christmas to all reading this blog
Christmas is very hot here. It is 10.00 am and we already
have 28 C temperature. Yesterday it got up to 31 C
No snow!!
The marina we are in at present is Nelsons Dockyard Marina
Antigua. This was the original naval dockyard used by Nelson. Very historic but
much smaller than Portsmouth historic dockyard.
See the site for a picture of the marina

We are tied up to the shore just about where the blue
catamaran is in the first picture.
The marina has a Christmas day BBQ for all of the boats
here, big or small.
Here are a few pictures so you can see what we are
suffering!!!
