There is a big international "Super Boat" regatta going on right now
and some of the biggest sailboats from around the world are here to

We were up on a hill for a while this afternoon at a really first

neither of us brought a camera unfortunately.

With any luck we are off to St Martin (French side) first thing in the
morning. Stay tuned.
