What can we tell you - English Harbour Radio (nice man - shame about the
accent) read us the forecast this morning. There's a small ships alert -
and has been for a while - but now he's predicting gale force winds! - where
does he think we are?!!!! Anyway that, and other things sent to try us
took us to St John's this morning - to get an extension on our entry - so we
are now in Antiguan waters for the next week, though their clearance is a
bit iffey. We are not alone. Irie turnined up out of the blue last night
- with two young crew and they will be here now for a while. Papaver also
made an appearance as Sheila has now joined Graham and they came on board
for a libation! Nice to be in company again and catch up with old friends.
We hope to get to Jolly Harbour - further north in the island - by next
week, but that is in the lap of the gods!
