Some pics from our exploration of Barbuda. Barbuda is known as the
"yachtsmen's secret". I can see why, it is unspoilt. Nowhere else we
have been to yet can compare to this in terms of isolation,
diversity of nature and lack of evidence of human invasion. I hope
and urge the Barbudans to try to resist the forces of change. View from the top  And the other way  The Top  Ancient Indian Cave drawings - 2 faces.  Modern day cave dwellers with our guide - Calvin  There are hundreds more photo's but these give an overall impression. Today we leave Barbuda for Antigua - I think it will be a contrast! But we need to get to a Chandlery as its been at least 2 weeks since we emptied our wallets in one. We're all concious of the 6th April looming. We have also had to change our plans a bit as we need to get to a Volvo service agent in Martinique as soon as possible to decide what we do about the Turbo. We will head to Martinique after a week or so in Antigua and then head back North to enjoy a last week or as long as we can in Dominica before heading back to St Lucia. Maybe the answer will be to continue with the night passages for the longer stretches - this has worked well as its cooler at night and gives more time exploring ashore. That's all for now folks. |
