Explore Sailing Voyages in Antigua and Barbuda 🇦🇬

Set off early after scoring a fresh baguette and croissants from the bakery. Wind initially light but once we left the wind shadow of Guadalupe, wind picked up to the steady 14-18 kts as forecast. Some big swell ~1.5-2m. Tight reach right across to Antigua. Anchored I. Carlisle Bay in 10ft of water.

For the 2016 Transatlantic RORC sailing race, we were 4th of 17 crossing the finish for monohulls, 2nd in IRC 0 class. Trip had steady trade winds from east to west, very little WX.

Lots of squalls, 42knts true wind and 12 knots boat surfing with 3 reefs in main and jib. Great sail but light winds to end trip.

Set off early. Put in 2 reefs and small jib. Experienced big swells and winds of 20-25kts but fortunately on beam reach. Generally sailed at 7+kts - hit 10.2kts surfing down a wave. Got drenched by a major squall . Picked up last remaining mooring ball in Deshaies Bay. Very relaxed little town.

Stronger winds and bigger swells today. Very choppy waves leaving Green Island. Run down the coast just on the jib. Pulled into Nelson’s for pre provisiong and checkout before Guadalupe.

Rough night listening to the party at the resort on the beach that went until 1am. Set off on tight reach all the way to the south western tip of Antigua in one long tack. Wind about 15-18kts. Swells built from 1.5 to 2.5m. Go into Rickets Harbour on Green Island around 3pm. Beautiful secluded bay but quite small and 4 other boats already anchored so spent some time figuring out best spot to anchor in case of stronger winds forecast for tonight.
