Hello!

I am Shaheen from India, trying to prepare a gift for my long-distance partner, and would love for anyone to help me out a bit. :D My partner loves travelling and for his birthday, I want to bring the world to him. :) If it's not too much to ask for, could anyone of you record a video saying - " Hey, Rishi, happy 19th birthday! Puchi's ( pronounced as poo-chhi ) love for you is so big that it reached Antigua and Barbudua!" with a landmark at the country ( or otherwise, as well, if that is not possible ) in the background and send it to me?

Thank you tons! <3

Hello all! I am arriving in Antigua this Sunday as I had planned to take a RYA competent crew course. Unfortunately the yacht had to unexpectedly dry dock and I cannot change my dates to reschedule.

I would still love to do some sailing while I am on the island, so if anyone would be chill with taking a sailing novice on board with them please let me know!

I'm down for daytrips or short journeys as long as I'm back at the airport the morning of Feb 13. I don't have experience but I am dependable and flexible.

Hello people of r/AntiguaBarbuda my name is u/Paltamachine from r/Chile, next to Mr. u/Darevawe are organizing a small chess tournament that was originally for members of our sub, but on the way we decided to extend the invitation to all the subs of Latin America and beyond (although this is not a strict rule and everyone can participate).

.

The original post of the tournament is HERE.

The inscriptions for the tournament are HERE. (password: redditchile)

.

Some particularities of the tournament:

.

- It will be played on the website "Lichess.org" (which incidentally has an interesting app here).

- It is suggested to create an account with the same username that is used in Reddit.

- Each game will have a maximum duration of 30 min per side.

- It will be next Saturday - January 12- and will run between 5 and 11 PM. Who has more points at 11 PM will be the winner.

- The points are obtained in the following way:

A victory equals 2 points

A tie equals 1 point.

A defeat never adds or subtracts points.

If the player gets two wins in a row the following result (win or draw) will receive a bonus that will consist in "double points", but if in the next game a victory is not obtained the player will lose his bonus until he accumulates again two victories.

- Each game will have a chat between the players and a general chat.

- The tournament has no official language.

- The tournament will be according to the current time zone in Santiago of Chile (GMT-3).

- The tournament will be streamed, however this is subject to technical feasibility.

- The tournament will not affect your ranking in Lichess.org.

- The tournament is just for fun but will have an award for the top 3 players (Reddit Platinum, Reddit Gold and Reddit Silver).

.

We hope you can participate in this and other activities that we have planned in the future (which may or may not be chess).

I am planning a trip to Antigua with my wife and 2 year old. Looking to rent an airbnb. Is there anything important a tourist should know? Are there areas to avoid? Are beaches safe for tourists off of a resort? Would you recommend renting a car to see the island during the day?

15 years ago I setup a corporation in Antigua ... I only know the initials that would be in the name ... I deposited around $10,000 in the bank account .. I remember paying the attorney roughly $5,000 to set it up

I entirely forgot about it until recently. I am wondering if it would still exist and how I would go about locating it

Does anyone know anything I could do to start the search ?

It's for a school assignment so please help me out! Thanks!

I am going trolling on a boat in Antigua and I need to rent fishing equipment, along with obtaining a license to fish. Are there any rental businesses in the area?

I understand a fishing license is required for offshore fishing / trolling in Antigua. What are the steps to obtaining this fishing license?

I would like to have a boat in the caribbean and work on board it. we are talking about small boat here, one man crew(me)

Im thinking for money taking peeps diving or maybe cargo or like a sea pony express. i really don't know if thats a thing im really just taking a shot in the dark here

i really have no i idea where to start and i don expect to get all my answers here jus to find the general direction. the actual questions.

what kind of jobs can i do with a small boat in the caribbean?

can i sail the caribbean in a small boat?

do i need licenses(boat driving, working in the caribbean)?

if i do need a license or work permit which one of the many wonderful countries of the caribbean would issue it and would said paperwork work all over the caribbean?

if this imposible where would be a good start?

is it the chill kind of life i imagine, with fair work and beach bars?

about me

20 years old.

mexican (this has to helps since its north america).

absolutely no boating experience, even struggles with cars.

i speak english spanish and french (could probably get the hang of dutch, Jamaican patois and creole dialects fairly quickly).

i could 100% do with out internet or a phone.

i swear i wont become a pirate to be called a pirate of the caribbean.

Just curious if anyone here is a resident of Barbuda, and whether you're planning to return to the island or not. I was reading this WaPo article which asked that question.

At the time Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans, I had never been there, and reading about how often they'd been hit in the past, I thought it was stupid to even allow people to go back there and rebuild. Then about 4 years later I visited New Orleans and fell in love with it -- it's such a unique city with a history and a people unlike anywhere else. I'm so glad people went back and fought to bring New Orleans back to life.

When I read things like this about Barbuda:

Before the storm, Barbuda was a forgotten Eden about the physical size of the District of Columbia. Its 1,800 inhabitants were family, literally. The descendants of African slaves brought centuries ago by the British, many islanders were related. The workdays were short and the rock lobster — freshly caught and free — were sweet. They’d grill them up at picnics down by the caves at Two Foot Bay National Park. There were no street addresses. Collecting mail meant a call from Joyce Lynn Webber at the post office.

“Eh, you got mail down here, come by,” she’d say.

It sounds like a wonderful place, and I know the destruction is bad... but I really hope people are able to return, rebuild, and keep places like that alive, and special. I hope to visit someday but even if I don't, I want to live in a world full of special places like Barbuda.
