Day 8
Up at 6 O`clock for tea and wheetabix.
Then Up Anchor and straight off into a flat and
fast cruise. Only 36 Miles to go to Antigua and this was polished off by
late morning, again a fantastic sail with a strong wind on the Beam. Everyone
helmed with expertise.. the week`s training was now paying off!
Arrived at English Harbour and anchored and Ted had
an early afternoon swim - just after a lone Oarsman came in to harbour with a
fanfare of horns.. hoots and watercanons from well wishers -- apparently he had
rowed across the Atlantic - (Madman!)
Early afternoon we motored 5 minutes round to
Falmouth Harbour ... This is really a nice place and great for
yachts!
