Dustin fixes the leech line on the Beneteau 45f5. Then Dustin poses as I conduct a model shoot in the middle of the race. The cockpit. Dustin and Carol. All hands on deck! Dolly and Greg. Arjan, the owner of BVI Yacht Charters. Using up Carol's muscles. When you are not getting smacked in the face by a wave, this racing stuff is fun. Mark finds a place to rest his weary back. Sail 2 Win. Close to the rocks. The man in red is Greg! Arjan is the man in orange. Jean! Racing. Phil driving. There they are...our competition. Diamant, another boat in our class. Dustin calls jib trim while Carol grinds away. Jean looks for the mark. Simon and Arjan. Carol, Mark and Simon. You try and find a tiny orange mark in the middle of the big rolly ocean. The Swedes. Simon. Phil prepares to overtake the competition. Phil, like most racers, prefers to be in front of his competiton. Mark working hard. Carrie On, wing-on-wing. A wave from Jean. Carol and Simon. Smiles on the water. Carrie On. Three men fighting over a broken shackle. Carol's on vacation. Warm water, a cool breeze and a boatload of friends equals a regatta we'll never forget. *Photo by Jean. Happy sailors! *Photo by Jean. Arjan and Luke at the dock. *Photo by Jean. The ladies discuss the next day's racing strategy. *Photo by Dustin. Jean, Cherie and Carol enjoy a dip and a drink. *Photo by Dustin. Everyone wants a good woman. The sail lofts are busy mending sails every night after the races. Monique and Val from Carrie On. After a tough day of racing, Carrie On's crew still looks good! Dolly relaxes while we are at anchor. Carrie On and her crew. What is this sign trying to say? "Don't get hit by lightning?" A dinghy is an important thing to have during a race. How else are you going to keep all that beer cool? Cherie, Jean, Carol and Dolly.
