After such a long time in the same anchorage, I opted to depart Falmouth Harbour today and motor sail to the lee of Green Island for a couple of days of quiet solitude. The waves were down a bit and I did the short trip with mainsail up and engine ticking over and managed to get the exact same mooring ball that we’d used three days before. I arrived in the early afternoon and took a swim before attacking the task of whittling down the over 1500 pictures I’d taken during the Antigua Sailing Week to a manageable number and then selecting representative shots for each boat so that I could complete my web pages for them.
There were several other boats anchored nearby, but as there’s nothing ashore the nighttime sky is wonderful to watch, which I did after eating a steak grilled on the barbie.
