Blog
Most of the content and pages on this site are to be found right here in the blog section. I’ve kept a daily blog since 2009 for the times I’ve been aboard and cruising. I’ve accumulated over 1500 posts over the years, plus numerous non-diary pages. Almost every day has a descriptive text entry (my family-safe online diary) along with several pictures.
Unfortunately, due to a hosting issue, the blog pages prior to 2022 have lost both their initial layout and formatting, making them read more like a book page rather than a web page. But at least the texts and pictures are still there for your viewing pleasure.

Description

We're happy it is over — We’re happy it is over

Antigua Sailing Week, then the starts to the Antigua to Bermuda race kept me busy in May 2023. Subsequently I headed to Guadeloupe, staying both in Deshaies and the Iles des Saintes.
