Falmouth Harbour, Antigua

Long time no post. Sorry about that. Not much has been going on, really. We arrived in Falmouth Harbour on Easter Sunday. Just after we dropped anchor, our friends Richard and Harriet ("Perseverance", same make as our boat only newer) radioed and invited us to a potluck aboard their boat. So I quickly made cobbler and we headed over to join three other couples for Easter dinner. The food and company was great and we were glad not to just sit at home and have "Easter Pizza" (which was what was going to be our menu if we hadn't gone to the potluck).

It's been a quiet week. Kevin has been working on getting our autopilot fixed. We were afraid we'd have to ship it to the manufacturer (in England) to have it looked at, but luckily there is a place here in Antigua that claims they can fix it. Because of the holiday (Easter Monday), it took them a while to order the parts, but it sounds like they'll be able to have it repaired by Monday the 31st. Which is great because we have to get a move on. We are planning to take a trip to Phoenix the first week in May, but we need to get the boat to Puerto Rico where we can board the cat and get the cheapest flights. So the clock is ticking, but we've been waiting on the autopilot. So it will be great to have that fixed. In the meantime Kevin has been feeling under the weather so we haven't done any more sightseeing or much of anything really, which explains the lack of posts. But if any weird sea creatures appear in our toilet, or if some yahoo anchors way too close to us, I'll be sure to let you know.
