We sailed into Anguilla and anchored next to Charm III. This was the yacht that Al & I owned from '56 - '64, a 51' Alden Schooner.
She has been rebuilt over seventeen years on the beach in Anguilla and is now one of the classic classics in the Antigua Regatta.

We meet up with Karen & Cees in Gorda Sound and had a night out at the Last Resort. From Trinidad they travelled up the islands and are now going to San Juan and Cuba and then on to the USA. They plan to sail back to Holland in June-July from New York. We may meet up again in the Azores.
The previous entry appears to have been lost in the system.
Johny and Ian arived in the BVI direct from Beaufort on 30th Dec. We did a quick tour of the BVI before he returned to Poland on the 11th Jan.
Darek & Jan from Poland arrived for two weeks to criusing the BVI and returned on the 14th. We have another pole arriving in a few days, when we hope to go to St Martin and further south. The BVI is great but it it is time to move on.
Melina is still in the BVI at Trellis Bay. and we frequently visit the Last Resort, a great place.
