      Day 81

      Good bye Antigua and hello Guadaloupe

      February 7, 2020 in Antigua and Barbuda ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C

      Das ausklarieren in Antigua geht im Gegensatz zum einklarieren sehr fix. Um 8 Uhr öffnet das Ausklarierungsbüro in English Habour. Wir sind kurz nach 8 Uhr dort. Nach zirka 45 Minuten sind wir fertig. Wir treffen Matze am Supermarkt, der während dessen eingekauft hat und fahren mit dem Beiboot gemeinsam zurück zum Schiff. Vierzig Seemeilen liegen heute vor uns. Der Wind weht ziemlich stark, so dass wir die Segel reffen (verkleinern) werden. 7-8 Stunden wird die Überfahrt dauern. Das Frühstück fällt entsprechend knapp aus, denn wir wollen nicht zu spät lossegeln. Um 10 Uhr starten wir die holprige Überfahrt. Die Wellen kommen seitlich und schwappen immer mal wieder ins Cockpit. Regina, Bella und Matze haben vorsichtshalber eine Seekranktablette eingeworfen. Übelkeit gibt es daher zum Glück nicht an Bord. Als eine Regenfront vom Atlantik zu uns zieht, verlangsamen wir unsere Fahrt, um einem Sturm auszuweichen. Mitten auf dem Weg nach Guadaloupe kreuzt uns plötzlich eine Walschule. Acht Wale schwimmen vor unserem Boot und wir schauen begeistert zu. So schnell wie sie gekommen sind, sind sie auch wieder verschwunden. Ein Foto können wir deshalb leider nicht schießen. Nach 8 Stunden erreichen wir dann die ruhige Bucht von Deshaies auf Guadaloupe. Wir lassen unser Beiboot ins Wasser und setzen über zum kleinen Hafenort, um den Abend in einer Pizzeria ausklingen zu lassen. Regina hat die beste Thunfischpizza, die sie je gegessen hat, mit frischem Thunfisch und Basilikum. Hmmm, köstlich!Read more

      Day 7

      Chain Hair

      January 20 in Antigua and Barbuda ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C

      We are still trying to decide if we leave or stay. The last few nights have been really difficult to sleep as the boat was rolling so much. One of the concerns is all the growth on the chain and not being able to get it off, while lifting the anchor (and allowing the chain down the hospipe).
      I wish I had taken a before and after picture. It was dirty and difficult to remove, but after lots of scrubbing it came off. The growth was only on the first 30-40 feet of chain. We used the wash down pump to rinse and clean the chain, but later realized it was not connected properly and had flooded the V-berth. We also has a problem with the bilge pump coming on but not pumping water. Both were fixable.
      After washing the chain and moving the boat about 500ft closer to the channel, I had stuff all over me and biting, so I jumped into the water and Brian followed. We had a good swim and did our 7 laps.
      Then we lounged on the boat and decided that to head to shore. Brian was going to do a pastel and then we were heading to Sushi at AYC.
      Maria met us at AYC and we had some G&T and chatted for quite awhile while Nicolas was at TOT.
      We made plans to connect again for yoga in the morning.      Read more

      Day 9

      Nautical Namaste

      January 22 in Antigua and Barbuda ⋅ 🌬 28 °C

      Had some work calls in the morning and Brian went off to do a pastel. One of my calls was delayed by an hour so I ended up filming my first little yoga video and put it on Instagram.
      Even though I am usually up by 6:30am, the days seem to fly by and I do not get all the things done that I need too. However, I am still on pace with doing Yoga with Adrienne every day…. Just not with producing my own classes or videos.
      We went for a swim in the late afternoon and met the boat beside us (Mermaid). Mike and Robin are the owners and it is the same boat designer as Lorena. They are the organizers of the Antigua Classic (a regatta I dreamed about racing in, in my 30’s). They recommended a person in Jolly Harbour who could potentially help with the boat leaks.
      **Also made muffins… an epic failure! Half burnt. I didn’t keep them in as long and only dialed to 350, but there is no thermometer in the gas oven. I’ll try again.      Read more

      Middle Ground

      January 23 in Antigua and Barbuda ⋅ 🌬 27 °C

      Work in the morning and move in the afternoon! At 3pm we went to Blue Magic to fetch Maria (Rolander) and go for a hike to Middle ground (great views and lots of small goats). It has been awhile since I moved my legs…. It’s felt good!
      We went to Coventry Gardens and go three bags of groceries, it cost $350 CND, which is what I paid back in December at home.
      Later in the evening we went over to Blue Magic and had super - brought some turkey sausages and okra for everyone, Nicholas and Maria added chicken, salad and a veggie dish. After the meal we learned how to play Mahjong. It was lots of fun, I actually won the first round (East Wind) of four.      Read more
