RISTORANTE PAPARAZZI ON THE SLIPWAY

1830 hours, March 15, 2015, English Harbour, Antigua: We arrive by dingy at Risorante Paparazzi on the Slipway to watch the sunset over Nelson Dockyard and have dinner. The Slipway is a full service marina (with a few slips), shipyard with a railway to haul boats to 200 tons and a Chandlery. The restaurant is at the south end of their dock. The sunset was beautiful and Beth said her Veal Scaloppine, with homemade Gelato for desert, was the best meal on the trip to date. As we had eaten at some outstanding restaurants this was quite a complement. 

Buoy weather was predicting that the wind and seas would have subsided enough to give us a comfortable trip on March 17th around the leeward side of Guadeloupe to Les Saintes, our next port of call. This is about a 75 nm distance. I called Chris Parker and he agreed. As we needed fuel we arranged with the Slipway to fuel at the end of the day on the 16th, and stay on the dock overnight. This was an accommodation a number of other fuel docks had given us. 

We had our last lunch at the Boom Restaurant overlooking Catalina Sunshine in Tank Bay. The seafood salads were great and a small bird enjoyed the bread I don't eat. We then cleared out of customs and immigration, and left our fantastic anchorage for the Slipway. As this was Monday night and the Restaurant was closed, we had a quiet night preparing for an early departure.
