Jolly Harbor, Antigua

This shot is from the outer harbor of Jolly Harbor, Antigua. Jolly Harbor is about half-way up the west coast of Antigua. The entire harbor is fairly shallow, with a dredged channel in the middle and all the way into the marina.

The outer harbor can get rolly in big swells, and it was shallow – about 6 feet when our draft is about 5 feet – which made me very nervous. And, the water wasn’t clear enough that I could see the shape of the bottom, so I really didn’t like staying here. I believe we moved shortly after this pic was taken to a location further in the harbor because I was nervous about the bottom and we were told the swells were going to get real bad.
