Ffryes Bay, Antigua
29 December 2011
Early start to Antigua, with a surprisingly nice sail along the Guadeloupe Eastern coast line. The sail across the strait was met with several squalls, so practicing reducing the sail and opening it out again, was the call of the day. As dusk approached we managed to make it here and dropped anchor in this lovely sandy bay, only boat...... hmmmm, not what we should be doing, we knew.....
After a bit of a pow wow, and verifying weather reports on surprisingly good internet coverage through our wifi booster, we decided to go to English Harbor and stay put through NY’s. As it turned out, Peter, fellow ARC friend. and his family, were staying in the Nelsons dockyard marina, so we treated ourselves to a safe mooring on this historic harbor, surrounded by renovated buildings of the mid 1700’s.
