WITH THE lyrics to Duran Duran's Rio ringing in my ears I stepped off the plane on to Antiguan soil to the unmistakable sound of synthesizers and drums and with a vision of Simon Le Bon hanging off the prow of a yacht in his silk Antony Price suit. That video, shot on the beautiful island of Antigua, defined the image of Duran Duran in 1982 as international superstars. The band's critics said the video was gauche and highlighted excess and greed. The band hit back by saying they were selling a fantasy.
Since I acquired the sailing bug in my 30s, I have lost my appetite for hotel holidays. The urge to get on to the water and leave civilisation behind has been too great. Even in the most luxurious resort hotels imaginable, I get restless after a few days staring at a beckoning ocean from the shore.
Before I married my wife Francesca in 1998, I chartered yachts in the Caribbean, southern Turkey and Cape Cod year after year. I hardly need charts these days for the Grenadine Islands. Eventually, I bought a series of ever larger sailing yachts of my own, and managed to avoid hotel holidays for many years. I even sailed the Atlantic.
The conditions at Nonsuch Bay are outstanding for small boat sailing. The two square miles of enclosed waters are protected from the open sea by a barrier reef and the bay faces the consistent and warm trade winds.
