Anguilla April 2015

The island of Anguilla is about 6 miles north of St. Martin. We had a fast sail to our anchorage on the western side of the island, Road Bay. The bay filled up with boats and even a regatta for the Easter weekend. 
 Anneleize and Jabez's sailing dingy behind the boat, without mast or sail. Sometimes they row it over to their friends' boat, without sailing gear.


A salt water lagoon near the anchorage had some good bird watching. I took these photos for Herman.





This is an old well, still in use. The flip flops belonged to the guy washing his car, using the well. 


More birds for Herman


I'm waiting for someone to tell me what the names of these two are.


This is the beginning of the regatta, for the Easter weekend. The boats are basic, just a hull, with one mast and two sails. And lots of people for ballast.
They are getting ready to sail out of the bay to the starting place, which was up island.
