I was lucky enough to make friends with the crew on Rupert Murdoch\u2019s super yacht and they took some of us for a spin in their 44ft tender and showed us round Rupert\u2019s Perini super yacht.<\/p>\n<p>We meet an Australian lady at the marina called Jacqueline who owned a pub on the North side of the island and told us she was having a big Australia day party. We all crammed into a Minnie bus and began our Australia day journey to \u201cJacky O\u2019s Beach Bar\u201d. It certainly was a journey we had a geriatric driver who didn\u2019t break 30km\/hr over the 30km trip, after an hour of bus songs we were there. We were all given Australian singlets, a hat with corks, some beers and a cricket bat. It was definitely worth the long trip.<\/p>\n<p>English harbor is a well protected natural harbor but the marina costs are relatively high due to the super yacht presence.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.charmoffensive.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/australia-day-Antigua.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-541\" title=\"australia day - Antigua\" src=\"http:\/\/www.charmoffensive.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/australia-day-Antigua.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"675\" height=\"451\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.charmoffensive.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/australia-day-Antigua.png 675w, http:\/\/www.charmoffensive.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/australia-day-Antigua-300x200.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 675px) 100vw, 675px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Australia Day!
