I like St Johns. Very pretty town, especially after the
cruise ships
head out at night. Its a 'real' town after hours. Lovely locals markets and even the supermarkets are 'locals' supermarkets.
The anchorage is as stinky as hell. Really bad. holding is good and totally protected. Its sandwitched between the
cruise ship wharfe and just out from the
fish market so the
fishing boats chug past.
See the triangle on the chart and L&L
Dinghy tie up is the wooden boardwalk which is a hell of a climb, and I went in one day, so if you have old, unfit people with you drop them off at the rock wall, its too shallow to tie up there.
The rest of Antigua is as everyone says,
English Harbour tied to Nelsons
Dock is a
history lesson you'll remember for life.
