Off Around The Island

At the end of November they sent us off to Antigua for another training charter... by then we had really become the whirlwind travelers ... Belize... Miami... US Virgins Islands... British Virgin Islands and then finally to the Island of Antigua.

Setting Out

While our new friends Dax & Kristyn were headed out on their first live charter, we jumped aboard Passion with at British couple Nick & Vanda and 3 couples and went out to explore what Antigua had to offer.



Antigua was a very different experience from the trips we do down here in Belize - you are cruising the waters around the big island, checking out all the different, little bays. There's lots more ashore, from little hikes up to all the old forts...


checking out the historical places, and of course the trip up to Shirley Heights to check out the view down to English Harbor.

Falmouth and English Harbors

So we had a great time exploring with Nick & Vanda and seeing how they run their charters.

Passion

All in all it was a great week, and we made some great friends... Nick & Vanda will be joining us in Belize, and we hope to catch up with Derek & Christine in the UK or Ireland sometime soon!

Hanging In Here....

On the way!

Sorry, sorry, sorry!! for the delay in updates.... been crazy busy!

The view of Tortola

After our first training charter back in November, we were sent off to the British Virgin Islands for some land-based TradeWinds training. We met up with 3 other couples who were all about to launch into their TradeWinds debuts like us... we had a great camaraderie among the group and have enjoyed hearing about how they're doing during the weekly staff meetings!!

Most of the crew!

And we had some fun running around the island on our day off... our lives at the hands of a crazy South African driver!

And then it was all over and we all went off into the TradeWinds sunset!
