Jolly Harbour, Antigua. 17 04.0N, 61 53.0W. We arrived here yesterday at 12.30 pm after a very pleasant sail from Roseau in 10 to 20 knots of wind which was coming from the north east which meant it was a headwind for a while, but the full moon and warm air more than made up for the occasional wave over the front end. As I came on for the 6 to 9 watch yesterday morning, the moon set, the sun rose, I saw Montserrat and then Antigua in the space of the first forty minutes. It was going to be a good day!

After the rather lenghty formalities we went into the marina and moored bow-to the pontoon with the back end tied to piles. With this arrangement the marina has a rib to sort out the back lines and they also assist when you leave. We have confidence in the piles as Jolly Harbour is a recognised hurricane hole.

After we had tied up we had visitors in that Kerrie and Andy came to the boat along with their friends, John and his daughter Laura, who was celebrating her twenty first birthday.

From all on Sea Spray Laura, we hope you had a great day!
