Storms, Friends, 2020, and Island Dentistry - Antigua Part 2


  • Great hiking near Shirley Heights
  • Ahoy Contigo (Ed, Jody, Amanda), Majestic Dreams (Skip and Louise), and Wild Bird (Tim and Gale)
  • Windsurfing with kiteboarders in Nonsuch Bay
  • Emergency dental visit to a local dentist...infected tooth. Better now, but it is only a matter of time before that tooth is pulled out
  • New Year's Eve:  started with crepes on Iolair, and ended on a megayacht in English Harbor; Tim and Gale had friends who captain a yacht and, being between guests, invited us for the celebration
  • Super winds locked us down in Falmouth Bay for almost a week.  We filled our water tanks with rainwater in a 1/2 hour, wind gusts reached 45 knots in the bay.  Sometimes there is nothing better than a good, protected anchorage.
  • Back in St Bart's we meet a special Canadian family (The Harris Crew) traveling with 3 awesome kids ranging from 7 to 11.  They are in their first season sailing and homeschooling, and we ran into them again in English Harbor, talking to the winners of a crazy cross Atlantic rowing race. Check them out on instagram (@hello.harriscrew).  What a fantastic adventure they have begun. We really enjoyed hanging out playing fussball, and hope our tacks will cross again.
