Leaving at the antisocial hour of 4am we crept out from the protection of Guadeloupe into open water. A solid 15-20knts just forward of the beam set us up for a beautiful sail to Antigua. Storming along at 6.5knts we all stayed on deck as down below was not a pleasant place to be. Freyja found an old Christmas cd and we sung and laughed our way across the sea to Antigua.
We expected to be arriving later after lunch but as always Slowy surprised us with her need for speed we arrived at 10 am!
The harbour was rammed with super yachts and we felt very teeny creeping onto the dock just outside Skullys! It wasn't long before we saw some familiar faces. We launched the tender and pootled off to pigeon beach for a swim and to cultivate our plan of attack for that evening!
We headed off for dinner at Abras which quickly escalated into a "14 strong" girls dinner (and one token man who we renamed Jessica). After that the music started and we danced the night away with most of the harbour. Luckily we have no pictures to show from our night out and it would be deemed a good thing by most. The earliest one in bed was around 3 and others shortly after sunrise.
The following morning coffee and juice was incredibly necessary. We went back to Pidgeon where we sat in plumfy chairs overlooking the seas and floated around in rubber rings and noodles! The cobwebs were swept away.
