And On North to Bermuda

We have had nearly a month in Antigua, at the dock in Falmouth Harbor. Lots of work going on the sailing system. Sails off to the loft for repairs (the mainsail is 1.5 tons!) and some big engineering works on the main boom, the feeder system for the mainsail. In between there were nice times with old friends. Interesting to be there when the 30th Classic Yacht Regatta was on as well as all the action of the 50th Antigua sailing week. We have departed now and are headed up to St Georges in Bermuda. Another favorite spot. Americas Cup here we come!!

So North Again

Underway again tonight back to Falmouth Antigua. a great cruise over and looking forward to Bermuda and the Americas Cup. The moon is bright tonight as we Tow Waldo past Martinique going North..

Waldo Island..

So after our great day of sailing we pottered in to Palm Island located off Union island..It is another private resort and is very picturesque and welcoming. All the usual sport activities were undertaken. Some of the guests even had Kite Boarding lessons so it was a quiet group at Dinner last evening. Here a little picture of our Shadow boat Annalu. Some times it is hard to find but usually the local beach Bar is where we look for Waldo 1st...
