Antigua

Posted by on April 18, 2016

We have been enjoying Antigua for the past two and a half weeks! Initially we anchored on the west coast in Jolly Harbour, checked in, reprovisioned and left the next day. A quick three mile trip north put us in Five Island Harbour, a nice place but we moved on after a couple of days. While anchored in Five Island Bay we took the dinghy north around the corner to Pinching Bay and found a wonderful beach, and we had it all to ourselves.

Anchored behind Maiden Island, Five Island Bay:

At the south end of the beach there is a lagoon of crystal clear waist deep water:

We noticed a sugar mill ruin in the distance so after a nice swim we found a trail heading in that direction. Aloe plant?

After a ten minute walk we found it. The walls were about five feet thick at the base:
