Yacht Wishing For The Moon

Now on shore on the island of Elba for last couple of years, and works going on October 2019 up to March 23 with engine replacement, plumbing, hull works etc, but locked out due to the virus thing here in Italy, and new engine blocked in the UK still.

The Futur Plan for Whimbrel

We are free for charters around Antigua between 20th April and 5th May, which is the period of Antigua Race Week 27th April to 3rd May.

Cruising around Antigua

We start out from Jolly Harbour half way up the West coast.

After checking out in English Harbour following a nights stay, and watching an Atlantic crossing rowing boat with 5 men on board arrive around midnight, we sail down to Deshais bay.

Christmas Cruise

Cathleen aboard 14th Dec, and guests arrive 22nd. We sail south out of Jolly Hr, anchor off a beach for the night, then visit Cades Reef for snorkelling and spend the next night anchored off Carlisle Bay, near English Harbour.

Wind and seas decreasing.

A rolly night with good progress running with jib boomed out to port. Pressure cooked pork chops with Karels mashed potato with garlic and steamed brocoli. We all got a good nights sleep and this morning karel made banana bread with the last very old bananas. Then we set the spinnaker and are now drifting along at 3 to 7 knots in somewhat decreasing breeze from the south west. Everyone appreciating running own wind! Seas still a little choppy but reducing by the hour.

Saw our second ship of the voyage today - a white container ship steaming north. Now more than half way to the Azores.
