English Harbour is the favorite place for sailors in Antigua. The Shirley Hights Mountains arround it are perfect for a hiking in the morning.

It’s strange that we were the only sailing boat anchoring in this beautiful bay just a few miles away from buzzling Jolly Harbour. Seeing no other boats or people for miles arround, but only one fisherman in the night, and even knowing that Antigua allegedly has the lowest crime rate of all Caribbean countries, we locked our companionway (Niedergang) and lifted our dingi out of the water for the night.
