      Abschied

      1. mars, Antigua og Barbuda ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C

      Wir können es kaum glauben, dass wir das letzte Mal unseren Anker neben die weiße Yacht werfen, die uns so ans Herzen gewachsen ist. Das blaue Logo strahlt uns übers Wasser an. Bald heißt es Abschied nehmen. Nach Wochen und Monaten, in denen sich unsere Wege immer wieder gekreuzt, ja lange Zeit sogar komplett mit einander übereingestimmt haben, werden sie sich diesmal ein letztes Mal auseinander bewegen.
      So viele schöne Erlebnisse haben wir geteilt und jetzt gehen wir wieder eigene Wege. Für die "LeeLoo"s geht es Richtung British Virgin Islands, Bahamas und dann zurück nach Europa. Für uns geht es bald weiter Richtung Westen. Der Pazifik ruft!
      Lebt wohl, ihr tollen Menschen - Lena, Dirk, Hannes, Emilia und Luise! Danke, dass ihr Teil unserer Reise ward!

      44 | Antigua Cades Reef

      21. april, Antigua og Barbuda ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C

      Der Tag startet anstrengend mit ein paar nervigen Themen von Zuhause und zack passiert es beim Ablegen. Genervt und unkonzentriert verheddert sich beim Anker lichten - bereits unter Segeln - die Leine von unserem Dinghy, welches wir hinterherziehen.

      Wir gehen auf Raumschot unter Berücksichtigung von flachen Stellen, Jan schaut dabei, ob er die Leine befreien kann. Doch durch die Ruderbewegung wird es nur noch schlechter. Während Jan auf das Dinghy aufpasst, lenke ich Miss Salty vorsichtig wieder in den Wind, lasse das Großsegel und danach den Anker runter und hole Jans Schnorchelsachen. Tja, da hilft nur runtertauchen. Jan bekommt die Leine schnell gelöst. Anker wieder hoch, Großsegel wieder hoch, Vorsegel raus, segeln, puh - 6 Seemeilen bis zum Riff. Was für eine Aufregung für so eine kurze Strecke. 🙈

      Aber woooow, das Riff sieht schon von weitem mega aus und die Wasserfarbe erst. Wooooow! Kopf unter Wasser und wir fühlen uns wie in einem Aquarium. Unsere Insta360 hat hier ordentlich zu tun! Und auch die Wasserfarbe lässt uns endlich mal das Karibikflair fühlen.

      Beachday!!!

      27. november 2019, Antigua og Barbuda ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C

      Puuuh, die Ausflüge werden ja immer anstrengender. 😉
      Heute ging es mit dem Partybus an der Küste Antiguas entlang um von den insgesamt 365 Stränden der Insel die schönsten ausfindig zu machen. Was für eine Aufgabe...
      Möcht gar nicht wissen, wie viele Kilometer ich heute am Strand entlanggelaufen bin. 😊
      An jedem Strand gab es selbstverständlich zur Begrüßung einen Rumpunsch und so machte der Partybus bereits ab dem zweiten Stop seinem Namen alle Ehre. Zurück am Hafen angekommen, konnte uns wirklich keiner überhören und wir waren das Fotomotiv schlechthin. 😆

      Bugs

      25. januar, Antigua og Barbuda ⋅ 🌬 27 °C

      Andy and Karen in the Catamaran beside us warned of the bugs and they were correct. The mosquitoes attacked me viciously! The good news is that we had shore power and are able to run the a/c on the boat and I can lock myself in and do some work.
      Was nice to chat with the offspring this morning on her daily walk. My Telus # and SIM is with friends an my call forward is to a virtual Canadian number so I can make and receive calls here. Unfortunately, not texts …. So I’ve learned that third factor authentication is a pain but most can be redirected to a phone call or WhatsApp.
      Brian worked in the boat all day, washing the salt spray off the windows, polishing the boat. I worked on the computer with the citronella burning beside me. In the evening we walked the Jolly Marina docks to look at boats and ran into some interesting guys at the end dock… Rick was an older gentleman that loves to chat and walked to the end of the dock with us, where a guy got off his catamaran and came over to give me a fist bump grateful that I helped him lift his 85lb Manus anchor from his dingy to the concrete beside Lorena, earlier in the day.
      We then walked to the fruit stand and the grocery store (with no bags), so only bought a few things… like Gluten Free shortbread cookies (what a treat to find in the Caribbean Islands)!

      We Sail

      24. januar, Antigua og Barbuda ⋅ 🌬 27 °C

      The plan was to wait for a weather window, Sunday or Monday, and sail to either Guadeloupe or directly to Dominica. However that changed after Chris Whalen visited the boat. He was the carpenter who worked on the boat beside us. He explained that the teak on the deck would need to be redone and the windows as well. Brian wants to get the windows done and Chris had an opening next week. I pushed him a bit on timing and he said he could start this week, so we left Falmouth for Jolly…. But not without incident.
      We went to lower the davit to hoist the dingy but forgot to unpin the wind turbine, so we bent metal and pipes the support brace. We were able to grab it during a lull and tie it off to fix everything without the concern of being whacked by a blade. Finally we were ready to leave, but the anchor was resistant (enjoying its spot snug in the sand)…. But eventually it released.
      It was a quick sail with wind gust up to 35knots and mainly following seas.
      Chris and Arthur met us at the work dock to grab our lines and it was a bit tricky as it was blowing hard.
      Once settled we went the Marina office to check in and had a bite to eat at the Mexican restaurant. We later returned to the area in search of a shower.
      It was yoga and bed for me, but unfortunately the bugs here are really bad and my body was covered in bites in the morning!!

      Antigua bound

      16. januar, Antigua og Barbuda ⋅ 🌬 28 °C

      Flight boarded on time but we waited on the tarmac for over two hours… to get engine to work, to get luggage loaded and drive the plane. In business class the seats were nice and big, although no TV’s on the plane. I got another hour or two of sleep and landed in the evening. Immigration went smooth although I was worried my bag wouldn’t arrive as it was checked all the way through. It was last on the trolly but luckily it arrived.
      Brian was waiting with pineapple in hand 🍍.
      He had a rental car and is not used to driving (due to living in NYC) so it was a tense drive back.
      We parked in the rental car lot and got the bags to the dingy. I wore the 48lb one as I was worried I wouldn’t be able to get it from the dingy to the Lorena (sailboat).
      Once on board I started to nest and get things put away while Brian cooked up a steak. We ate and went to bed as I was exhausted.

      Antigua, Carlisle bay

      22. november 2023, Antigua og Barbuda ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C

      43 Seemeilen haben wir heute geschafft. Unterwegs wurden noch einige Fischernetze umschifft und 2 Fische gefangen. Ausserdem wurden wir kurz von Delfinen begleitet und haben fliegende Fische gesehen.
      Das Wasser in der Carlisle Bay war ziemlich trüb.

      Antigua, Deep bay

      25. november 2023, Antigua og Barbuda ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C

      Mit gutem Wind aus Südost 15 Knoten von Barbuda nach Antigua, Deep bay. Dort liegt ein riesiges Wrack von einem Dampfschiff von 1940. Das wurde als erstes abgeschnorchelt. Das Schnorchelvergnügen war ziemlich getrübt. Der Kamin ist abgebrochen. Ein Rest von 20 cm schaut noch heraus.
      Unterwegs noch 2 Fische gefangen. Die gibt es zum Abendessen.

      Airplane mode

      16. november 2023, Antigua og Barbuda ⋅ 🌬 27 °C

      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.

      Work days & Lobster

      31. januar, Antigua og Barbuda ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C

      Ive had to lock myself in the aft cabin to get some work done, amidst the construction zone of windows being done in the salon and nav station.
      When I can, I go and put on coats of gloss on the bow, or dig the rot out of the window sills.
      Having shore power and access to unlimited water is great! The Marina showers are nice, but the boat also had a big shower with good pressure. After a shower on Tuesday we went to La Cantina and had some Mahi-mahi ceviche as a snack…. But then got eaten by bugs again.
      We tried the custard apple and the chocolate fruit. Both were great! The chocolate fruit was like scooping out chocolate pudding, delicious!
      On Wednesday evening we walked in the opposite direction, towards customs and Al Porto, - beautiful restaurant on the water. Brian decided that we would eat at the restaurant and it was so GOOD. We had Caprese, and a seafood chowder to start, and then Brian had a full lobster and I had lobster thermidor.
