Arrived safely in Antigua



We had a great sail from Guadeloupe to Antigua on Monday. We're now in the land of the rich and famous. I'll share pictures later.

When in Dominica, we don't require much assistance from the boat boys, however, we've become friends with many of them. Bounty, the driver of this boat below is one of our favourites. We had been in Dominica for more than 2 weeks when we dinghied to a dock and saw a piece of Bounty's boat floating. Because of the brightly colored boats and unique art work, we knew right away that it was Bounty's boat. Later on, we found Bounty who quickly told us that "Andrew mashed my boat!". Poor Andrew was coming out from behind a wreck and couldn't be seen. Bounty was heading around the wreck from the other side and well, you know the rest of the story! They all drive very fast. Andrew is devastated and has all his friends working on Bounty's boat to make amends. Fortunately no one was hurt in this one.




On the way out of the Dominica, we motored past this nice little boat.



Look at the back of the boat.



Now, look a little closer and you'll see how the rich and famous stay in shape. I'll bet she's never seen the falls and the views we have from the tops of many of these mountains!
