Just the pool guy and I taking in a terrific sunrise at Oyster Bay Beach Resort
lifeboats used as shuttles hard at work moving folks to / from the WInd Surf for excursions ashore
setting the lure... a bit different than fishing in Colorado :-D

John bringing in his first barracuda of the day! (2 total was best of the day)
Paula reeling in her ocean catch... barracuda (with fangs!) :-)
paula all smiles after landing her barracuda (likely largest of the day)
FISH ON :D LOL - we snagged a big one but i'm not sure the lines will hold
A gull and I enjoy taking in the start of another great day as we approach Nevis.
The sunrise provides a welcoming beacon as we make way to Guadeloupe

Brian just HAD TO CHECK if the canon was loaded! (photo credit: Paula)
time spent under a palm tree never seems wasted :-D
exploring Terres-des-Hautes - surely wish I could have caught that one!
Paula capturing a moment as we take a train ride around the island
we're the tallest one on the left with a LOT FEWER passengers and crew :-D
Here's to another great day in the Caribbean! (photo credit: John B)
Here's to terrific friends sharing another great day in the Caribbean!
departing after sunset and arriving at sunrise was common
Sunrise breaks through the ships rigging as we head toward Guadeloupe
lifeboat rigging - makes one appreciate a well trained crew
crew preparing lifeboat tenders ready to shuttle folks ashore
all ready for the breakfast rush
breakfast with a view
farewell sunrise as we prepare for breakfast and get ready to depart the Wind Surf for one last adventure before heading home
Jerri - formal crew member - John aboard Stars and Stripes looking optimistic as they get squared away... time will tell
True North IV sails up to our launch so the Canadian crew can board
the RACE IS ON! Paula gets her first feel of sailing a 12metre yachet (or any sailing vessel for that matter) - calm and collected
Stars and Stripes waves as we overtake them on the last leg for a TRUE NORTH IV VICTORY! Well done team Canada!
homeward bound...
