Freeman's Bay, English Harbour, Antigua

Thursday was day 2 of jobs, I was still on metal polishing, Kevin was working on cleaning up the hull which gets smeared with black ink each time the portlights (windows) get wet. Apparently this happens in even the top end of the range catamarans too and the black takes quite a bit of cleaning to remove. I think they are Goiot portlights, so not a Foutaine Pajot fault, anyway, we have just tried smearing some Vaseline round them for now to see if that seals them a bit.

In the afternoon we had a visit from Ian on Loon that we met briefly in Grenada he and Tracy are also planning to visit Central America so we have been in touch on email hoping to meet up to discuss in more detail. We hadn’t realised they had arrived in Antigua yet, though they are actually moored fairly close, so we met them for sundowners which ended up seeing the sun over the horizon by someway and something of the moon and stars too. It was a really good night though although I think at least Tracy and I are feeling slightly the worse for wear today.
