Ep 165 Season Finale Island of Antigua by Drone
Antigua by Drone:
In Episode 165, our season finale, we go for something completely new. It’s a whirlwind of nothing but aerial footage (with all new music) of Falmouth Harbour and English Harbour, two of the preeminent cruiser-friendly anchorages in the Caribbean. Superyachts and high-end recreational craft abound, as befits such a stunning location.
For sailors in the USA or Med, the idea of a “finale” episode in the middle of summer sailing season might seem a bit off. But remember, in the Caribbean it’s the middle of hurricane season (remember Beryl). For this period, July 31st to October 15th, or thereabouts, the boats need to be out of the water and strapped down. Either that or get yourself out of “the box”, which is the trapezoidal series of long and lat coordinates that dictate the higher probability tropical storm and hurricane zone.
This episode is in my opinion one of the best, if not the best, we’ve ever produced. Shot entirely in 4K / 30fps with our DJI Mini 3, you really are immersed and get a wonderful taste of how Antigua is experienced from the sailor’s point of view.
For sure there are other great spots along Antigua’s extensive coastline, including Green Island, Saint James (Marora) Bay, Indian Creek, Carlisle Bay, Jolly Beach, Jolly Harbour, Five Islands, Deep Bay, North Sound, and Bird Island. But we only had so much footage to work with, so those will be left for further exploration in the future.

Sailing Talisman
We're cruising couple Kevin and Wendy, and we're sailing the world in our completely upgraded Oyster 485. We packed up everything, rented the houses, and headed for Troon, Scotland where the boat was located. We closed in late 2017 and following a major electronics refit (the first of several) headed south to the Mediterranean. One season morphed into a second, then a third. And then the Caribbean beckoned. We participated in the 2019 ARC, and have been cruising there since. The adventure continues ...
