The gathering of the fleet in Nelsons's DockYard, Antigua.
The gathering of the fleet in Nelsons' Yard was special in its own right. The historic officer's quarters, stores and shipwrights buildings all echoing with the ghosts of past seafarers, traders and soldiers provided an extra edge to the start of our adventure. The start line was set up under Shirley Heights with a starting canon – Valentine across the line amongst the leaders and the fleet was off !
