09/12/2015 - We motor sailed the 25 miles from Montserrat to Jolly Harbour.  At the start of the voyage the seas were rough and water was coming over the spray hood and soaking the decks right back to the aft deck.  We ploughed on and the sea settled down and the last 10 miles were actually quite enjoyable.

As per usual we had the normal chaos clearing in to Antigua (3 boats had arrived at the same time) and to compound the situation the Marina staff had the afternoon off to celebrate VC Bird day.  I made the biggest hash of getting into the slip as the bow thruster refused to work after the pounding we had been through and even after these thousands of miles I'm still useless at steering Roysterer backwards without the bow thruster.  No harm done, and Mark was able to man handle us away from the next boat and William the dock master cajoled us into position using his rib boat.

Earlier I couldn't upload some of the pictures at Deshaies so I have attached a couple more, one of the anchorage there and one of Penny looking very pensive on the fore deck.
