Aboard again! in Antigua

Position “17:0.47N
061:45.99W” Friday 4th April
2008 Aboard again for two
weeks!! We’d had the boat anti-fouled by the Boat Yard and
put back in the water for us, which save a fair amount of time.
Talulah looked great! We were only away for 3 months – but that
was almost too long! Anette and I set about going shopping for ice
and the victuals, and then discussing where we were going to take
Talulah. We had essentially 3 plans; take her north to Bermuda,
take her south back to The weather for taking
her north was not particularly good so we thought that we would stay around the
Wednesday 9th
April came and the weather pattern between Antigua and Bermuda showed that if
we were quick to leave, we could dodge between 2 developing troughs and make a
quick passage to Bermuda – so we changed our plans (again!!) and left at
lunch time Wednesday to sail 940 miles to Nelsons Dockyard How close was the
restaurant and bar!!! A shot taken from Talulah whilst she was ashore

and dry at Antigua Slipway, Waiting for the lift
