Kieran's bad parents caused him to miss out on yet another birthday party by motoring to Barbuda. Shame, at sea again for another one! However not many kids can say they've been to two different islands on their birthday. We basically had to leave due to the weather. On the way Mark caught a huge barracuda which we released, as there is a chance it carries Ciguatera, a poison. Navigating Barbuda is tricky as there are numerous coral heads, some uncharted. We should really try to get there before sunset, again!
We anchored in Gravenor Bay.
Mark changed out the Anchor light and took some nice pics from atop the mast.This was the biggest conch I found, chowder for dinner!
Nothing much goes on in Barbuda, people come here for the seclusion and the pink beaches(pink color from fine broken coral) The late Princess Di used to visit a resort here, called the K-Club
I did some great snorkelling and there are plenty of fish here too, along with turtles and many stingrays
Above are some coral heads
We met a lovely couple here, from a yacht called Common Crossings and exchanged some cruising guides. With provisions running low it was time to make our way to St Martin. So far Antigua and Barbuda are our favourite islands.
