    *First pic.*
    Rising Sun off Carlisle Bay, Antigua.....I don't know when this was taken, and I've never seen her here before.

    *Second Pic*
    A friend sent me this of 'Gran Finale' in Mamora Bay, St James Club.

    "Rising Sun" isn't a stranger to ANU but she isn't there as regular as you would want I guess.

    Really interesting documentary

    Just watched a really interesting documentary on BBC four about Antigua

    Human bones found on an idyllic beach in Antigua trigger an investigation by naval historian Sam Willis into one of the darkest chapters of Britain's imperial past. As archaeologists excavate a mass grave of British sailors, Willis explores Antigua's ruins and discovers how the sugar islands of the Caribbean were a kind of hell in the age of Nelson.

    Sun, sea, war, tropical diseases and poisoned rum.

    Should really try to watch the rerun.

    I Will try to find it.

    Thank you so much for that documentary, it was a rather intriguing one! I've managed to watch half of it thus far, and I will definitely resume watching the other half later.

    Many years ago they were going to build a Superyacht dock at the Smeralda Club in Nonesuch Bay. Unfortunatley the Yachts grew too big for this to be feasible.

    Yea, but I think Nonsuch Bay is the next best location for a super yacht dock. Relative a large, deep bay, that is protected by a barrier reef; however, I would prefer if it stays as an anchorage spot.

    Thanks for the awesome shots of some wonderful yachts!!

    Is the third picture a Perini Navi named Antara?

    She is a beautiful sailing yacht!

    Hi,

    I think it says ANDROMEDA on the transom.

    Ah yes, Andromeda La Dea and Antara are the same vintage Perinis so that would make sense.

    And apparently they both have the same swim platform/passerelle and other upgrades including an extended flybridge with hot tub.

    They are both great representations of the Perini brand!

    Antara formerly Liberty | PERINI NAVI

    Andromeda la Dea | PERINI NAVI

    I would love to see any more Perinis that pass your way!

    Thanks for the kind words, I try my best. Regarding that third photo you inquired
    about; it was actually Andromeda La Dea and not Antara, which is an equally
    beautiful vessel.
