After more than a month in Martinique, we finally take off with our Starboard Diesel Engine fixed. The volcano that marks the landscape of Martinique, is covered by a set of clouds. Nonetheless, the view is spectacular and we are happy to move on.

While spending a few weeks in Martinique we learned how to Kite surf. Nonesuch Bay, Antigua, is perfect for exercising this exciting sport and we get to know other people who also practice Kite surfing.

After a 3 hour sail we stop at the famous 'The baths'. Huge rock formations mark these marvelous beaches. Of course we are not satisfied with just swimming in the clear water but also climb some of the huge rocks to get a better few of the surroundings.
