We just arrived in Barbuda with its 11-mile long beach with just two other boats here - both about 2 miles away.

Went to the 30 foot wide strand of sand that seperates the lagoon from the caribbean. To enjoy the sunset.

Monstrous dino sized mosquitoes attacked and so we naturally plunged into the sea up to our necks, and Max was the first to find these living clear needles trying to swim into us.

A mad dash to the boat and the first time the family has been all naked togethet on the dugar scoop picking needle snails out and showering.

Location: Barbuda
