You can see Regatta boats racing in the background in the Maho web cam.
The Tango might pass here and might pass La Samana or even go up to the pass between Anguilla.

It would be nice if one or the other of the webcams would zoom in though!

Not bad at all. Went all the way to near Marigot and back and nobody sick that I could see, other than anyone who over-served themselves last night or on the boat.

Wine tasting and someone in the group who didn't like red wine decided she did and she had a little trouble today but made a nice recovery. Not really sick, just a little under the weather starting out.

Good time overall. You have to watch the rookies at a wine tasting.
Rumor has it Jill is possibly banned from Hollywood Casino, she kind of cleaned them out last night.

I had a pretty good view of the Regatta boats today - from the start boat and finish line  Some interesting times, including a collision and much shouting at the start line. I gather an incident involving loss of a finger occurred on the other course and there were numerous protests; but overall the conditions were perfect for a spirited race - skippers could choose to reef or not.

The final race of the Heineken on Sunday was very exciting. 6 foot swells near Pelican Rock on the south coast and 20 knots of wind. The racing boat I was on, Azura, had to jibe the spinnaker 100 yards before the finish line, with Fortunata jibing at the same time, with the boats less than 5 feet apart. Talk about an adrenaline rush! Great competition and very friendly race crews all around. The spectator boats were a joy to see and many race boats made a special effort to sail by them before and after the racing. Thanks for all the "flashing" from the spectator boats too <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Wink.gif" alt="" />
