Position at 1500 on 23/12/11

We arrived in Nelsons Dockyard in Antigua on the 23rd, after a reasonably bumpy trip from Deshaies in Guadeloupe. We tried the same trip yesterday, but bravely turned back after encountering 40 knots of wind and 4m swell.

It looks like a fantastic place for Xmas and New Year. Apparently we missed The Queen by a day, she had been here for a while on a well known yacht called Leander, but kept a low profile.

Must go now, we are off to celebrate Larry and Fi’s 36th wedding anniversary , which was yesterday
