We're still in Antigua but planning to leave
English Harbour this afternoon - after two weeks. The parts we need for the
windlass and the engine fire extinguisher have still not arrived but we've got
both working. We plan to go round the corner to Falmouth Harbour this afternoon
and maybe spend a couple of days exploring other bits of Antigua before coming
back here in search of the parts next Wednesday. From Antigua, we still plan to
go to Nevis. We've given the boat a deep clean - even varnished odd bits -
and she feels in pretty good shape. English Harbour is very pleasant but
everywhere has its' 'go-by' date.
 English Harbour with Falmouth
Harbour in the background from Shirley Heights. Nelson's Dockyard, where we've
been moored, is pretty much dead centre.
 It was a long walk to Shirley
Heights and back.
  We stayed for sundown but it was a
bit cloudy
 Even if Eddie was a bit underwhelmed,
the rest of us enjoyed the band
 Anna and and her first employer -
Denise, the manager of the Dockyard Coffee Shop
 Anna prefers serving tables to
washing up
 We'll all miss Denise - one of
the friendliest faces in a very friendly place
