Caribbean
December 2021
There are 3 America's Cup Racing Yachts in the Harbor
Today we will be CREW on one of them
Getting Ready for the Adventure
First a Picture to Remember
These are the 2 yachts that will race
On the catamarran the captain divided us into 2 crews
Our yacht is the Canadian boat Tru North IV
Joe will be a "grinder" tightening the lines to the mast
Eileen controlled the thick black line to the boom
I couldn't take my eyes off that coil of line. I didn't want to miss the captain's orders
That's why we do not have any more pictures onboard. The phone stayed in its case
The Result? - OUR BOAT WON - We beat the American yacht "Stars and Stripes"
Returning to the Wind Surf for Lunch
Welcome Relaxation
Goodbye St Maarten
One final look and memory of our morning of hard work
