Antigua 3

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.

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:

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.
