Another lovely sail this morning up the North of
the West coast of Guadeloupe (with wind for a change) and then a fairly fast and
furious crossing of the open sea up to Antigua. We passed Montserrat, the
verdant island which was blown apart by a volcano 10 years ago.
No whales sighted, one fish caught but not landed,
no lures lost. I am still mourning the loss of our uber lure "Wolf" which caught
probably 60% of our entire catch and which was lost last week.
Antigua week has just finished, so there is a
slight to feel to the place of "morning after the night before". It is
absolutely lovely though with the old British port still in tact creating an
extraordinary Georgian industrial does the Caribbean comb. Definitely a place to
revisit.....
We are moored next to the Oyster 655 Sotto
Vento, our old friend from Las Palmas, but now with new crew so no fun any
more!
I am off diving in the morning, then doing a last
chandlery run in the afternoon before coming back tomorrow night to the UK to
leave Tilly Mint to make her way back with Olivier ad crew over the next months
or so.
