Yes I loved Antigua too. It was my last Caribbean location before I sold my yacht in 2011.



Taken from Shirley Heights and waiting for the green flash, it was the regular Sunday evening BBQ venu with pan band entertainment. English Harbour in the foreground, Falmouth background and Nelsons dockyard, a museum between.

Sorry to go on about Caribbean but St.Martin is another favourite of mine. Two cultures for the price of one. Dutch in the south and French in the north. I regularly anchored on the inland bay near airport. Depending on wind I woke up in French or Dutch territory.

Apologies if you have heard the myth but apparently the French and Dutch were too civilised to go to war over the island. They had a wager, a Frenchman would set off from the north coast, Dutchman from the south and where they met would be the border. The Frenchman was sustained with wine, the Dutchman much stronger gin which is why the border is relatively close to the south, although its the best part. You can imagine the dilemma in the evening, do we take the RIB (9ft+15hp=brisk) for a curry or menu gastronomique

French owned and nearby is St.Barts, possibly the most exclusive island and certainly pricey. Favourite French location though was the town of Deshais on the north west corner of Guadeloupe and location of TV series Murder in Paradise.
