Huge sailboats at night with masts lit up:
http://oi45.tinypic.com/14ikdw7.jpg 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 race. Most of these masts are 200 feet or higher, so big they are required to have red aircraft warning lights: The support and spectator boats are equally impressive: http://oi45.tinypic.com/of2bld.jpg http://oi49.tinypic.com/96f2ae.jpg http://oi50.tinypic.com/24ovl3m.jpg http://oi47.tinypic.com/2nc49b4.jpg |

Hope they don't make you feel 'puny'. Can you get up on a hill overlooking the harbor for some shots? Salmonbait -- 'Name-calling'...the liberals' last resort. |

The view was spectacular as you might imagine but neither of us brought a camera unfortunately. http://www.hotelsone.com/north-sound-hotels-vg/biras-creek-resort.html With any luck we are off to St Martin (French side) first thing in the morning. Stay tuned. |
