Morning hikes and cocktail sunsets around Antigua - based in Galleon bay for the snorkelling and bars 😉. We saw @tom_skinner_atlantic_row finishing his epic 3000 mile solo row across the Atlantic, inspirational stuff. He had his families names and the Invictus poem stuck to his boat to get him through the tough times.
“Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate,
I am the captain of my soul.”

Coasts of Dominica. Toucari bay on the north coast is so chilled and has a few great bars with ‘Keepin’ It Real’ the highlight. Locals play footie on the beach whilst pelicans fly overhead. #dominica #keepinitreal #toucaribay #caribbean

Vallée de Mai is a must visit : A UNESCO World Heritage site and a protected forest where the endemic coco de mer palm grows in its natural habitat, famous for producing the heaviest seed in the world topping out at 20kg! We also saw our first chameleon in the wild too 🤓. #theseychelles #cocodemer #valleedemai #tigerchameleon #fruitbat
