France has firmly rejected the proposed amendment to the French Immigration and Integration Bill, which sought to grant an automatic visa/visa waiver for 6 months to UK subjects who own 'secondary residences' in France. The decision by the French Constitutional Court on Thursday, January 24, 2024, is considered final, with no avenue for appeal.

As colder weather sets in to the northern Hemisphere, we are steering south to the inviting warmth of Antigua, showcasing Deep Bay as December’s CAptain’s Mate of the Month.
A hugely popular destination, Antigua offers plenty of mooring options around the island. Deep Bay on the north-western side of the island is an inviting and stunning anchorage. An excellent bay for overnight stops, the sand offers good holding and the gently shelving beach is wonderful for swimming.
