Our small armada of vessels from Antigua landed off Spanish Point, Barbuda shortly after noon on April 1.\u00a0 Already there and awaiting our delivery of fresh produce were Kim & Sandy (Kewaydin<\/em>).\u00a0 After some lunch, we gathered on the beach for a short walk up the eastern shore of the south part of the island.\u00a0\u00a0 Hikers included Kim & Sandy, Chris & Sheila (Never Bored<\/em>), Robin & Cheryl (Just Imagine<\/em>), Morris & Elizabeth (Viking Angel<\/em>), Bill & Coleen (Dolce Vita<\/em>), Eric & Jackie (Compass<\/em> Rose<\/em>) and the publishers of this blog. \u00a0Along the way Kim showed us the remains of the mobile construction offices that had been pushed over the cliff by a large group of Barbudans who opposed the construction of a huge hotel project at Spanish Point that had been approved by Antigua.\u00a0 (The project was cancelled.)\u00a0 Further up we found a giant log on the beach, the origin of which is a mystery.\u00a0\u00a0 Our turn-around point was a crater formed by a former sand mining operation.\u00a0 The depression is deep enough to sometimes contain fresh water that is used by the donkeys, horses and fallow deer found on the island.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
