Last day in Antigua

We left the dock this morning (March 4th) around 11 am and are now anchored just outside the inner harbour at Jolly Harbour. Mark has been very busy the past 3 days doing a few boat projects. He painted more of the forward deck with the non-skid paint. He polished the dinghy davits (the stern being close to the dock sure made that job easier) and he replaced the ignition switch for the engine. The switch was acting up on our jump down from St. Martin so Mark was able to buy a new one from Budget Marina (which was right in the marina). I spent the past 3 days cleaning and putting the V-berth back to travel mode (basically the notch piece comes out and is stored). I also started crocheting another project!! We did a very little bit of grocery shopping and Mark got his hair cut!!

All in all we’ve had an amazing stay in Antigua but now it’s time to keep heading south. The plan is to jump down to Guadeloupe tomorrow (March 5th). We’re hoping to catch up with Sharron and John (Sundog) who have been in Guadeloupe just over a week now.

Here are some Antigua photos that didn’t make it into previous posts.

We stopped at an art gallery and there were some beautiful plants. This is a Heliconia bihai plant.
