ANTIGUA TO GUADELOUPE

Picked a nice day to sail fom Falmouth to Deshaies. The wind was a round 12 knots just aft of the beam and the swells around 5 feet.

A lot of other boats picked this day to move as well and the anchorages were busy at both ends.

I enjoyed watching an island built topsail schooner making full sail out of Antigua. The crew soon had all the rags flying.

I am heading down to the Bequia Easter Regatta, April 21 - 25 this year, but have no plans to race Elephants Child however I do have the offer of a crewing spot on a another cruising boat. I am not sure if I will take it up as watching with a been in hand from the Green Boley might be more my scene nwoadays.
