Antigua and Montserrat

We are now enjoying a few days ashore in the old officers mess at English
Harbour Antigua while the boat is in the yard (not this one!) having some work
done (antifouling etc). Yhe whole of English Harbour is a restored Naval
Dockyard from Nelson's era - now full of megayachts (and us). There are lots of
beautiful people here (and us) so Teg is having a ball.
Going ashore without the aid of a dinghy, stretching out in bed and
unlimited showers are such a luxury!
I really want one of these on the foredeck so I can sing shanties while Teg
pulls up the anchor! She seems less keen and prefers steering at times of anchor
effort.
The officers mess - now hotel where we are staying at the moment.
We had a great view of Montserrat puffing away (big clouds of smoke and ash
falls) on the way up from Guadeloupe which doesn't project too well in this but
here it is anyway.
This one is for Pete Saxby so he can't complain when he takes off my next
solar keratosis. Obviously I wear this hat from dawn til dusk.
Next stop Barbuda.
