2010 Photos

These photos were taken from the balcony of our condo at Sapphire Beach Club on Friday as the racers started north past Cupecoy Beach. The wind was minimal and the haze was horrendous. Random Wind came by on a special trip following the regatta.

The wind picked up overnight and it was a bit less hazy on Saturday, but we still could not see Saba. The wind was still coming from the south and now that it was stronger, it was producing some large rollers. It didn't look like fun sailing as they came past Cupecoy heading for Marigot.
