Finally we escape Antigua’s clutches exactly 2 weeks after the Rally start. Our mast has been taken off, fixed and put back on. We’ve also taken the time to get both generator & main engine professionally serviced and beefed up our supply of spares for both; had the installation of our Hydrogenerator (Wally Watt & Sea) strengthened; had new fixings for our deck awning; the Rib has been completely overhauled and generally everything has been rubbed & scrubbed.
So now we have a full diesel tank, we provisioned for England yesterday at Epicurean for food and Crab Hole Liquor store for drink so now our waterline has gone down yet more.
So what of Antigua, we will remember the friendly people, the lush hillsides, the green/blue clear sea, Shirley Heights Parties, BBQ’s on the dock and of course getting to know the Oyster family and Sun-downers. Finally the saying of this part of the trip was “they know how to charge here”!
We’re now off to Saint Lucia and more from us when we get there.
