Location: English Harbour, Antigua
Today the Crew woke up in Green Island and prepared to haul anchor and depart back to English Harbour. The passage was short but nonetheless filled with bow watch and boat checks. Just offshore of English Harbour, we managed to catch a blackfin tuna. The crew all got a sudden craving for sushi. Needless to say, we had raw tuna, soy sauce, and wasabi as a mid-morning snack! Reese took the honor of filleting the fish and shocked everyone when he dug out the eyeball and took a bite! After “snack time,” we brought the boat into English Harbour and managed to pick up a spot on the dock for the first time on the trip. Docking stern-to took a bit of time; maneuvering an 88-foot boat in a congested harbor with shifting wind isn’t that easy, but we managed to drop two anchors and secure ourselves pretty well. We all then went ashore, and freshwater showers were a very welcome sight.
