    • Day 12

      Richtung Montserrat

      February 17, 2020 in Antigua and Barbuda ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C

      Nach zweistündigem Ausklarieren ( was für ein bürokratischer Aufwand) von nur 8 Pässen ☹️ verlassen wir Jolly Harbour Richtung Montserrat, eine britische Kronkolonie. Die Insel galt als Inbegriff einer paradiesischen Karibikinsel - bis 1995. Dann verwüstete der „Soufriere-Vulkan“ mit verheerenden Ausbrüchen zwei Drittel des Eilands. Die Hauptstadt Plymouth musste aufgegeben werden. Von den 11.000 Bewohnern leben nur noch 5.000 Menschen auf der Insel, nachdem 1998 der Vulkan wieder ausbrach. Wir Ankern in der Rendezvous-Bucht 😎Read more

      So alarm was set, messaged an Uber at 4:40 who answered and arrived quick. I rushed out the door and about 10min later realized I forgot my purse and passport. Had to go back and try and wake up Ashlynn by calling multiple times. She answers, I get my purse and off to the airport again. Once on the first plane from Montreal to Toronto, I realize that I left my book at Ashlynn’s…. Damn! Well at least I bought the Women Who Run with Wolves in the Costa Rican airport and will have that to read.
      In Toronto, I ordered a kids breakfast (eggs, bacon and fruit) and a coffee before boarding for another long flight where I was double masked.
      Got to Antigua at 3:15 and had no problem through customs. Then outside I waited for Bada. He arrived in the back of a van with a man and women in the front. We had a nice drive and interesting conversation. He dropped me at Nelson Dockyard and I wandered and found Lorena.
      Sadly, I tested positive for Covid, and although Brian was happy to have me on the boat, none of the crew stayed.
      We went for a few walks around the yard and I kept my distance from everyone. Brian cooked a MahiMahi that he had caught a few days earlier, with some asparagus… delicious!
      It was hot on the boat (no a/c) so cool shower before bed.
