Carribean

This is the starting point for my trip, I went over to sail on the 44m Drumbeg, for the Bucket regatta. Flew into Sunny St Marteen after a long and drawn out set of flights from Wellington, had a few days training, fixing little bits on the boat. Then had 3 Days of racing and struggling with starting well at the back of the fleet because of our handicap, was some pretty sweet sailing had by all though with 42 boats 95ft+ all racing it was a pretty amazing sight. The islands couldn't have set a better backdrop with crystal clear water and nice 10-20kn breezes.
