Final Caribbean Days

Well it is time to say good-bye to this adventure.  Pam and Glen have been great hosts and it was good to set foot on the Blue Pearl again.  There is something very special about the blue sky, warm sunshine, warm waters, starry nights and the cool breezes of the Caribbean.  When you add the great company, some sailing and exposure to different places, people and things, it makes for some very special memories.  

I cannot forget to mention how special it was to be reunited with Jinder and Glen alone on the boat.  Our histories are forever intertwined and to spend time on our own was unique.

Our last day was spent sailing from North Sound back to Hermitage in Five Islands Bay.  We rode a silent gentle wind most of the way.  We stopped at Deep Bay for lunch and a hike to the historic lookout before the last hour to what has become my new Antigua home, Hermitage Bay.  Our final night was my sixth of this trip.

Island Tropical Freight Leaving St. John's

We had our last swim in the sea and our last meal and night on the Pearl.  Our evening was made more special by Glen and Pam's long time friends/sailors/cruisers Sid and Kate.  We had met Sid before and Kate for the first time.  The evening was filled with cruising stories and smiles all around.

Our last morning was a motor into Jolly Harbour right around the corner and a walk of the plank (actually a short Murphy the Dinghy ferry ride) to catch a taxi into town for our afternoon flight home.

All is good!

Until next time.
