Antigua 3

Posted by on July 20, 2016

Most of you already know we are back home for an unplanned extended visit. My health issues forced us to interrupt our best sailing season since owning our boat. Tanya is doing well as always and I am on the mend. If I continue progressing, we should be back in the water by December.

While routing around the computer I found one more batch of pictures from Antigua, one of our favorite places in the Caribbean. We stopped along the north east coast at Long Island (to use their internet), then onto Great Bird Island and Hell Gate Island for a few days.

1b Great Bird Island Antigua (1024x768)

1c (768x1024)

1d (1024x768)

1e (1024x768)

1f (1024x768)

1g (768x1024)

1h (1024x768)

Lizard:

1i (1024x768)

We climbed to the top of the island for a better view:

Dea Latis in the distance:

2b (1024x768)

Rugged eastern shoreline:

2c (1024x768)

2d (1024x768)

These birds were hovering in the strong updraft:

2e (1024x768)

2f (1024x768)

2g (1024x768)

Then we took the dinghy over to Hell Gate Island:

2h (1024x768)

2i (1024x768)

2ii (1024x768)

2k (1024x768)

2kk (1024x768)

2l (1024x768)

It was at this point we reluctantly made the decision to jump south and head home. On our way back to the leeward side of Antigua we were escorted by a pod of dolphins:

3 (1024x768)

3a (1024x768)

3b (1024x768)

3c (1024x768)

3d (1024x768)

After a wonderful time in Barbuda and Antigua we raced south as fast as weather permitted. Dea Latis is sitting on the hard in Grenada waiting for our return.

      Hello Bob, great to hear from you! Am I ok…? I could go on a rant here but I wont. I have a bulging disk in my lower back pressing on nerve running down my right leg which is incapacitating at times. We got home in May and the best appointment I can get with a real back doctor is October 31st………..???????? What the F is wrong with this picture? Also have bad knees but they have been treated and are on the mend. Still trying to find a back doctor to see me sooner… Hope you are well!
