As stated in the previous post, the stores in Antigua are stocked normally and the confirmed infection count remains the single individual that traveled in from the UK a few weeks ago. Several of the US cruisers we meet have plans to go to the USVI’s even though they have 17 cases and the count is growing. Some cruisers around here whip themselves into unneeded panic posting on social media versus reading the news and local government announcements. The big question with cruisers is hurricane season. Grenada and Trinidad, the safe havens for hurricanes are currently not open. If these islands do not open the options for non-liveaboards are to sail to the US or put the boat on the hard at at one of the open islands (adding additional insurance coverage). The non-liveaboards appear to be making early moves on both of these options. We are going to be patient for the next few months to see what islands open before deciding to go north or south for the hurricane season. The cruisers in the Pacific have the real problems. Imagine being at sea for four weeks from Panama to the Marquesas at being told you cannot check in and must proceed to Tahiti, secure your boat, and fly out. Overall we are very thankful for our situation and we hope everyone stays safe.

Crazy times. We were supposed to be going to Cayman Brac in two weeks. Not happening. Stay well !!
They will open sometime
Rebooked for November…….we’ll see. E-commissioning is tonight for AYC.
What does E-commissioning entail?
Commissioning was held as a virtual on-line meeting. It worked ok. Just not the same as the real thing. Same script as usual, even had the cannon.
