We took off with Lorry and Stephen to check out the mega yachts here from all over the world for this elite regatta! The rich and famous are here lined up on the dock with their crew and monster sail bags lined up as far as the eye can see! The frenzied activity is breathtaking...with each and every boat doing the last minute touch ups on varnish or brass or stainless! We think they take the lifelines off for cleaner lines and some clearly never had them to begin with and you can see the hand grips are the only thing to brace a foot to to grab!

Our dear friends, Pam and Brian on the classic gaff schooner, Rebecca, gave me back my flip flops, in the middle of their personal frenzied last minute touches, and even suggested we might have a chance to be on board for one day of the races, depending on how their crew works together! Wow! Just to be considered is an honor! She's gorgeous and she knows it...but seriously, she's a newbie by these standards, and tiny in comparison to some of the mega yachts, reaching lengths well beyond 40 meters!

Here are just a few that can wet your whistle! OMG...what a treat! So was the free Mt. Gay Rum!
