Antigua

Spent several days anchored off the Pigeon Island. The wind howled the first night, when we arrived. But after that, it calmed down and we enjoyed our time there.

I'm writing these after the fact, so most of that time was covered in the last post.

After saying goodbye to the Coxes, we resupplied, did pre-arrival COVID-19 tests and sailed up North to Antigua.

I don't remember much about the sail up, but it looks like we got good wind and had a nice easy sail. We went straight into our usual corner off Pigeon Beach, where we found Mark at anchor on "Pom".

Antigua was teeming with racing yachts for the RORC Caribbean 600. John and I went out on the dinghy to catch the winners streaking over the line with raised hulls, outside Freeman Bay.
