St Barth.

Some photos from the anchorage at St Barth. It was packed and rock and roll all the time. So I just stayed the night and left early morning.

 Some more photos of the hardware seen in St Barth.




 Le Grand Blue.


 And he has a 52' sailing yacht on the port deck, as well as a similar size Sunseeker on the SB deck.





This is my AIS screen of the St Barth's island. Each triangle represents a yacht and they are generally the bigger once that carry AIS. It was congested.

Antigua And Sailing North To St Barth.

This is S/Y Mariette which is from about 1910 and restored by Tom Perkin and later sold.

Another beauty passing us while in Falmouth Harbor, Antigua.

And of course the Royal Clipper cruise ship were there as well.

These yachts (12 m class) race with 24 crew on-board.

Sunset in Antigua. Time for a sundowner.....

The Royal Clipper at night.

Another big yacht.

The red light district in Falmouth Harbor.

English Harbor, Antigua. This was Admiral Nilson's and the British navy's HQ. It is being nice restored and has loads of history to it. 






At anchor for the night in St Kitts. The Vulcan in the background is that of Nevis, which always has a white top hat of clouds.

At anchor in St Baths. It was Easter Race week and the anchorages were packed with yachts. The motor yacht in the middle is "La Grande Blue", which is one of Abramvich's (Russian billionaire) yachts.

Various Photos From Antigua.

This is North Sail's sail loft, where we had the Genoa repaired, which was poorly done by Doyle sails in Trinidad.



There is so much big ships/yachts in Antigua. Here are some examples from English Harbour.






This is from Falmouth Harbour. I call it the "Red Light District", as the mega yachts use red lights on top of their masts (air plane warning) and their spreader spots. Not easy to get a focussed photo, but in this photo there should be 20 such red lights.
