Happy New Year

Wishing all our friends and family a wonderful New Year. All on board the good ship Legend IV send their love and hopes for shiploads of blessings to you all...land lubbers and fellow sea men  alike.

New Year on board was spent having a champagne dinner on the boat. I baked a Devil's food cake for the crew ...no mean feat with Alan and I yelling at each other when the oven didn't perform and I "haven't read the manual yet.... idiot !"

The fireworks on the dock were magnificent. We saw the New Year in at the Dockyard party and along with probably most of the free world "Gangnam style"  blared out from the stereo at regular intervals with people (not me) making drunken attempts to look as if they knew the moves.

The youngsters headed to a club to get their share of Antiguan nightlife which to all intents and purposes involves much the same stuff as any where else in the world. We could get no more info from them but the ruckus that accompanied their noisy boarding  at 5am spoke of a good time had by all. 

We are on our way back to Nelson's dockyard after spending 2 nights at anchor in Falmouth and then up at Green Island on the south coast of Antigua where we were taking a break from life in the marina at Nelson's dockyard. All every festive but living cheek by jowl with ....GOT A FISH...have to go!! I'm in charge of the anesthetizing  them with rum (just a small tot)

Dinner cooked by Manuela

Early morning hike up the hill to the cannons guarding English Harbour. Took the same shot of Ryan and Nic in the same spot 15 years ago on Legend II.
