March 26 — “A Bit of a Wiggle”

March 26, 2022

“A bit of a wiggle,” said the Commodore of our arrival at a “rinky-dink dock” in Antigua. The channel markers showed us that the channel was not much wider than the ship.

On the way in to Saint John’s, Antigua

We were over three hours late, due to the rescue last night. The rescue may have saved a life, so being late is really not anything.

Antigua has 365 beaches.

One of Antigua’s perfect beaches

We love Dickenson Beach. It has soft white sand, impossibly bright turquoise water, and shallow, warm water. There is nothing but smooth sand on the bottom. You can rent chairs and umbrellas when you get there. However, we had already decided to try Ffrye’s Beach today (not a typo) — in the other direction. It meant a longer taxi ride, and since it was an area we were not familiar with, we didn’t want to go later in the day, not knowing how hard it would be to get a taxi back to the port. 

Another Antiguan Beach

We elected to stay on the ship and visit the pool while most everybody else was on the island. Much easier logistics, maybe not as nice as the beach.

The color  of the water today was: peacock feather.

For the evening show, there was a comedian named Kevin Jordan. We have seen him before, but it’s been at least two or three years. His material has not changed at all, but he was okay.
