Barbuda

After eight years…fixed the compass light! I have been working on the bright work (wood) also, it’s amazing. Pics of the bright work to follow.
This is our beach at Cocoa Point. We met some nice people from Austria in that dark hulled boat:
She looks nice in that water:
This is a resort called the K Club, it’s been closed for years. The resort spans at least a mile of the beach. Such a shame to see that beautiful place fall to ruins:
This is Coco Point Lodge just south of K Club, and it’s open!
We bounced around the west side of Barbuda, this is further north at Coconut Point. There is nothing there except beautiful beach, turquoise water, lots of turtles, and surprisingly nice reefs. Our new beach in the distance:
Beautiful sunsets, even a green flash or two!
And of course, happy hour on the beach:
Yes:
Yes:
Yes, conch! It’s been soooooo long since we have had conch! Tourists can not take conch or lobster here but I asked some fishermen if they would sell some! Lobster was too expensive but the conch was reasonable, probably because I had to clean it! Oh it was soooooo delicious. Again:
Oh and did I mention big starfish (just to look at, not eat):
We loved Barbuda but we were running out of food so we had to head back to Antigua, which is where we are now. We are fueled (diesel is #$%@ing expensive), provisioned and back at anchor. We will probably bounce around Antigua for another week or two before starting our slow journey south.
…I missed an update from Montserrat so I will get to that soon…
The beaches look just beautiful. I hope your trip south goes well. Take your time and see all you can.
