Wanderings. Andy E Willliams : Surfing in Antigua

Fri, 30 Jul 2010 18:25:49 +0000

For more info on surfing and kite-surfing talk to Jake Kelsick on http://jakekelsick.com/. He's a local surfer and kitesurfer, and is also just a nice guy. He can tell you everything about getting started.

One of the best places is Galley Bay. There are also a couple of other places that you can find out about if you talk to local surfers you meet there.

Unfortunately I don't know of any such tutorials.

Wanderings. Andy E Willliams : Basketball on an Outdoor Court in Antigua

Fri, 12 Feb 2010 10:01:26 +0000

Hi Dave, I did indeed get to play that day. I played Sunday morning at 7:30 am. Come early or face some argument in getting on the court. Part of the game appears to be arguing to get your turn. Far from being unwelcome for the court's regulars, these arguments appear to be a welcome test of manhood that they look forward to. But the arguments appear to be harmless. Unlike courts I've seen elsewhere, Antiguans don't generally appear to escalate the conflicts beyond words.

The theme is Atahualpa and it's free. Happy blogging!

No idea ... but I’ll ask around. You’ve got me curious too.

Wanderings. Andy E Willliams : Sister Sledge takes the Food and Drink Industry Party Over the Top

Wed, 9 Dec 2009 16:41:15 +0000

I missed seeing the surge of freeloaders. It seemed to me that most people had something to eat there during the dinner hour, but when you get to 11:00 people start to get hungry again ... and if the party would have gone even later people would have started to get hungry yet again. The difference for the organizers between serving one meal and potentially serving three meals is ... bankruptcy and debtors court! The level of interest generated by the party was amazing though so I can see that lots more people would have wanted to come than were able to get tickets. Looks like an opportunity to me ... perhaps next time the organizers could charge for food and drink after 9:00 or 10:00 pm and then charge a lower admission for those who come at that time or later. Still ... a party where the biggest complaint is that all these things prevented it from lasting longer ... that says something good about the time you had while you were there ... yes?

Thanks for buying my book Pat. I'm gratified to know you enjoyed it. I'm working through the second or third draft of the novel and hope to be finished in the next few months ... but things always take longer than expected don't they?

They are indeed beautiful ... and you should have seen how the handlers bathed them in the sea. I'm looking forward to seeing these horses race in Antigua.

Wanderings. Andy E Willliams : Last Lap of Antigua 2009 Carnival

Tue, 20 Oct 2009 01:48:16 +0000

I've only posted a few pictures in my blog of Last Lap from Antigua Carnival 2009 ... but I have lots of additional pictures. I made all of them available a couple of months ago in another online gallery for those in Antigua who wanted printouts. Many of those photos included pictures of the blue section.

Sorry you missed it Khadija ... hopefully it will be even bigger and better next year.

Wanderings. Andy E Willliams : Did You Miss this at Nuit Blanche? Part III: Celebration of Hamish Kippen at Cream Tangerine

Thanks for reading Chuck Wow. While of course I only wrote about and photographed the things I saw, there was lots and lots more ... enough for people of all different interests. Take for example the blindfolded WWF cage match at the Greyhound bus terminal on Bay and Dundas. It was CRAZY ... free admission but standing room only and a line that went around the block outside. I don't watch WWF but having been a trained fighter I know that one of those moves done incorrectly can leave someone paralyzed. I'm mean ... what if you're having an off night and flip a guy just SLIGHTLY the wrong way? I thought it was the best piece of performance theatre going that night. And didn't they have a collection of glass beer bottles?

Wanderings. Andy E Willliams : Travelling for Personal Growth Part I

Tue, 6 Oct 2009 12:51:16 +0000

Thanks for the comment Quickroute. I wonder ... if travelling educates us ... then does the choice of WHERE we travel impact the quality of that education? Or is the destination irrelevant ... with the only important thing being that one travel with an openness to seeing new things?

You missed the restaurant in what was until 2007 the world's tallest free standing structure ... the CN Tower in Toronto. But I would rank the spectacular bar/restaurant by the name of Canoe and located in downtown Toronto as the city's best skybar. http://www.andyewilliams.com/blog

Hi Spence, I assumed everyone who wanted pictures had gotten them by now so I deleted the pictures since they were taking up so much disk space on my server. I'll update my site this week to remove all mention of pictures.
