(This message was added in version 6.7.0.) in /home3/aboarddi/public_html/blog/wp-includes/functions.php on line 6114This morning we woke to an empty boat. Nobody joined us for breakfast. When we were in the guest hull for our chores (changing watermaker filters, etc.) no one was there. Life goes on. We get over the sadness by looking forward rather than looking back so that\u2019s enough of the maudlin.<\/p>\n
We decided to go ashore one more time this morning at Jolly Harbour. I\u2019d left (or I least I think I may have left) my USB stick in the internet caf\u00e9 where I printed an itinerary to get the kids checked off the boat. We also took the opportunity for one last decent shower and food shopping. I had my heart set on some hobnobs but they\u2019d sold out so I splashed out on some chocolate digestives instead.<\/p>\n
We had the boat prepped and ready to leave by 11am. Winds were well above forecast but made for some fun sailing. We changed our minds (it seems to happen a lot) and went straight to Falmouth Harbour where we are now anchored of Pigeon Bay. This required a bit of easting into the current too so it was a longish sail. Along the way we had a bit of excitement when Helen spotted a boat a little ahead of us had lost their dinghy. We didn’t have much time to react. I tried a maneuver to bring us along side without dousing the sails. Seeing Helen running around I quickly decided I didn’t want this turning into a (wo)man overboard situation so I abandoned the attempt. Had it been a person there would have been no question of a rescue but not for a dinghy at such short notice and only the two of us aboard. Plan B was to note the position and time radio the boat that had lost the dinghy. The first responder was the Antigua search and rescue to whom I gave the coords and time. Later I was able to hail the mothership who had discovered their loss and were heading back. I gave them the time and coords too so they could project the position from point\/time and drift.<\/p>\n
We’ll be here for the next few days. Principally we’re waiting for our mail. Tuesday has been declare a public holiday here to let folks watch Obama’s inauguration on TV (footnote: this was incorrect). We’ll find a public place (a bar probably) and join them and enjoy the spirit of the occasion.<\/p>\n
So here we are in Falmouth Bay. It is full of gorgeous mega-yachts. Will have to take a few pics for you all.<\/p>\n
