On the eastern side of Antigua lies Green Island, an uninhabited island with many small beaches and great snorkeling. Some of the Italians that Abi works with venture there regularly to spear fish and cook out on the beach. I was lucky enough to join them on their last voyage. Two small boats brought us out to a secluded beach with beautiful white sands. We set up the grill and soon had a fire going to grill some tasty chicken and beef cuts. Serafina, the youngest member of the landing party at 14 months, basked with us in the warm shallows. The raggazzi donned wet suits, weight belts and snorkels and were gone for nearly three hours. When they returned with lobsters and several fish, we unfortunately had to break camp and head home as the mosquitoes came on with a vengeance.
