Historic English Harbour

Current Location:  Falmouth Bay Anchorage, Antigua
Miles Traveled:  0
Weather:  Mostly sunny, early morning showers, breezy (10-15), low-80s
Highlights: Walked over to English Harbour this morning to check out the sights.  Nelson's Dockyard is the big attraction here - a collection of historic forts, docks, and buildings that have been re-purposed into restaurants, inns, museums, and gift shops.  Most of the site was built in the late 1700s and early 1800s to support the English West Indies fleet.  Admiral Horatio Nelson was in command here from 1784 to 1787.  We visited the museum, walked through most of the buildings and around the wharves (lot's of modern super-yachts docked here), had lunch at one of the restaurants, then hiked up the hill to Fort Berkeley, where we enjoyed the views of the harbor immensely.  Back to the boat around 5 for light dinner and early bedtime.
