Palm frond hats and a video of big waves off West Africa

Vixen has been sailing around Antigua for about two months now. We just had a great visit from Daniel and Raya who flew down from Maine and slept on the cabin floor for a week.
As you can see in the photos Daniel made all the girls palm frond hats.
Antigua is not a big island but it has a good mix of reef anchorages, deep inlets and some of the nicest people in the Caribbean. We are looking forward to the upcoming Classic Boat racing out of English Harbour with our friends on Grayhound -- a 65-foot three masted lugger from England.
I have also included a short video of Vixen running down the coast of Mauritania last November. Timbuktu is only 800 miles east across the Sahara!

Whoopee! Can feel the wind in our hair and the sun on our skin. Y'all look so happy and what a clever fella Dan is with those hats! We'll talk soon, xoxoxo Bumbu and Poopsi
