Great Habit's Caribbean Tour 2011-2012

This picture is of a calm anchorage here in Antigua. Since we have been complaining all season about high winds we really have nothing to complain about here. It is sunny and warm with gentle breezes. No duelling winds to keep us awake at night - really quite lovely.

We are in slow gear. It is nearing the end of our sojourn and we have more "prepare to go home" chores than "setting up the boat to go sailing" ones. Hopefully we will have a lot of them done so when Brenda comes we can go gunk-holing around some of Antigua's wonderful bays. Today was a writing day for me and cleaning the outside of the boat for Chick - she really sparkles now!

Flo and Wendy thanks for continuing comments on the blog, we really appreciate them and you for hanging in with us.

Jim Newell if you are reading this we are trying to reach you but the email we have just bounces back; please get in touch.
