Here we are 2 days ago in Falmouth Harbour, Antigua.
Here are a few of the 'big ass' boats we see around this island of the rich and famous!
As we passed by this machine, we could hear Led Zeppelin coming from within the dinghy garage. Many workers are constantly at these boats keeping them in shape. The owners just arrive once in awhile to entertain and then fly home again. We're not totally liking this military look for a personal vessel. There must be a story in this.
Even the smaller boats in the middle of this shot are huge! Anchoring off these boats makes you feel really really small!
An interesting trimaran. Laurie really oggled over this one!
We're sitting in Antigua where the wind is just howling. Everyone is sitting tight and it looks like our trip to Barbuda might not happen this season. It's only a 3 hour sail, but out in the open between the islands is not the place to be in this wild wind and BIG seas!
Instead, we're hunkered down a nice deep bay of Five Island Bay on the western shore of Antigua just north of Jolly Harbour. Our British friends John and Alex from "Free Spirit" are here beside us and we just met a couple, Rick and Deb, on the boat, "Clarity" from Calgary. The 6 of us will move our boats closer to the protected beach on the other side of the bay and we'll do a BBQ on the beach this afternoon. All it takes is a little charcoal and a grate from an oven and then a cooler full of food and refreshments! What else are you going to do when you're storm stayed??
