Jolly Harbour - Antigua

Thursday 9th February

After a few days anchored in Falmouth Harbour we moved around to the southern coast of Antigua to Jolly Harbour. Due to the high salt content in the water (we think) the bay is always this really beautiful turquoise colour making it such an inviting place to go for a swim and hang out on the boat. The other really inviting part of Jolly is the well stocked supermarket, full of a lot of great English and American products that we haven't seen anywhere else in a long time. The Caribbean islands can be touch and go with provisioning, the French islands tend to offer the best supermarkets with the widest selection of goodies, where as the independent islands usually have a limited supply of the basics. It makes cooking on board quite interesting as we always have to be a little creative with the ingredients available. For now though we're stocked back up and looking forward to hanging out at our next stop on the neighbouring island of Barbuda.
