Day 69 Antigua

17,04.5N  61,54.7W We are anchored outside Jolly harbour, Antigua. 
We are in wonderful blue water as its only 3m deep. The thing that 
makes cruising in the Caribbean so great is that every island has 
wonderful natural bays that offer the yachts calm protected waters. 
Everyone is complaining that its a bad season with much fewer 
yachts than normal. Good for us as we get easy anchorage 
in popular spots.
Over the last few days we have seen whales, a huge 1.2m
turtle and large dolphins. Nice to see some marine life again. 
Today we had fresh croissants and bread delivered to the boat 
at 7am (in Deshaies bay, Guadeloupe). She took our order last 
night and did a roaring trade. The French islands are great. 
We clear in and out on a computer, no waiting for ages at 
immigration offices and filling out forms.
Its rained every morning which has been great at cleaning
the salt off the boat. Also great for the islands as some are very dry.
