Yesterday we started to plan our route over to Panama.  As it stands; after making our way down to St Lucia, we will go to Columbia, the San Blas and possibly even Bonaire along the way if the sea state is kind !  With only a few weeks untill the big off, it’s all starting to feel very real now.

This morning I succeeded in fixing my shower drain pump. Grandad Bill I hope you are proud! I’m also feeling particulary good today because the man next door told me that he thought I looked like a natural and belonged on a boat. To have the instant respect of a fellow sailor without first having to prove myself is not something I am used to, so it really made my day !

After a boiling hot day it’s another cold evening here in Jolly Harbour …..at 23 degrees I’m wearing a hoody and a scarf… but being a northerner I’m most happy in this attire anyways!

Missing everyone back home loads but know this is definitely where I am supposed to be right now 🙂

Lots of love and Happy 2017 from Antigua x
