If you want to get out in the action, get aboard Celine or Random Wind.
It's a great day on the water among the the boats, food and drinks included.

| These early photos were taken from the balcony of our condo at Sapphire Beach Club earlier in the week leading up to the regatta. Many Tall Ships show up for the event and it appears that they all like to cruise close to Cupecoy Beach. Surprisingly enough, that is where most of the nudists on the Dutch side catch the rays. Many of the racing boat photos were also taken from the balcony. There was a lot of marine haze and cloud cover in the week leading up to the regatta. |
