After a rough overnight sail on lumpy seas we
arrived in Antigua on 29th December. We celebrated Ewan's birthday with a game
of golf during the day and champagne and a good meal in the evening on 30
December. Denise arrived on the 31st, bit white and pasty, but we are working on
that. We had a quiet new years eve. On New Years day we drove around the island
in a hire car. We visited some lovely beaches and historical places. We also saw
a carnival parade in St John the capital.
We should get our sail back today which was in for
repair. Questionable Logic was taken out of the water again so that Ewan could
work on the rudder that was still displaying the same problem as they though
they had sorted out in Las Palmas. Work is going well. Hopefully they will be
back in the water tomorrow. We will sail to Montserrat or Guadeloupe depending
on the wind, which I will check when I have sent this.
