Saint John’s is in the America/Antigua timezone (AST/UTC-4), with no daylight saving time observed. Saint John’s is a small capital with an outsized cricket reputation. Antigua produced Viv Richards, perhaps the most feared batsman in cricket history. The Sir Vivian Richards Stadium, renamed after him, hosts international test matches in a country of about 100,000 people. Cricket in the Caribbean runs on its own schedule: test matches over five days, morning sessions starting at 10am local time, the afternoon sessions when the Caribbean sun is directly overhead.
Antigua and Barbuda runs on Atlantic Standard Time, UTC-4, permanently without daylight saving. Saint John’s shares this clock with Road Town in the British Virgin Islands to the northwest and with the eastern Caribbean island chain generally.
Antigua’s sailing season peaks in late April and early May with Antigua Sailing Week, one of the Caribbean’s premier regattas. Falmouth Harbour and English Harbour, on the island’s south coast, fill with racing yachts. The race schedule is set by wind and tide, but the shore parties run by their own logic.
