Trip to Europe (and back) begins

[Will Gilmore]

Oh, how I remember those days. When I was in high school, we had a 10- party line and my girlfriend was on a 15-party line. Make conversing a challenge!

And they say privacy died with cell phones.

Winni declares, "That busy body, Ethel VanNosey, does nothing but sit on her front stoop spying on everybody's business all day."

Joan asks, "How do you know that?"

Winni: "I watched her from my rocking chair on the porch."

Clare says, "Well, we certainly won't stoop to her level, will we."

I can't put an imoge on that one because there is not a *groan* imoge...

You had a girl friend?

@JamesG161 made mention How are the Sharks? When we took up the mooring. I was in the Caribbean and the idea of sharks blew briskly over my head with the Trades.

My reply How are the Jets.

Then I learned “Baie de deshaies”. Means “Bay of Sharks”.

Peaceful. No Sharks on the horizon.

And a good thing that is as our two young crew members are off swimming and snorkeling today.....

My reply How are the Jets.

As their names might imply: the sharks are at the bottom of their division and the jets are on top. That looks like a great place to be a shark though.

Musetta is on the move again:

Now we can see their destination of Antigua - moving nicely at 6.2 kts:

They've tacked:

They have arrived at English Harbour, Antigua:

And zoomed in to show where Musetta is anchored:

Note the little squiggle just beyond halfway there. There is a set of coral reefs there where we entered and anchored for an hour or so. Then the two girls went diving. Sadly the coral reefs are mostly dead but it was still a cool place to visit.

I was going to ask about that squiggle. It was obvious that there was a story to tell there.

Saw that and wondered what you'd done. Now we know. Tks.

Heading out of Antigua - heading to St. Martin. Anja has a flight out to home on the 11th. Cheapest flights to Europe fly out of St. Martin. Sadly she must return home. She has been just an amazing crew member!

I'll be solo after that unless I can find more crew. But it's very complicated going into the US for anyone not a US citizen. Crazy requirements to enter the US....
