Crown Princess and the Pier
The ships flags
We are on Martella an 80 foot Maxi ocean racing yacht. See link for more information.
Raising a main sail on a mast that extends about 90' above the deck is a lot of work. We had 4 people grinding. Although we lost the match race we had a great time. The most important part of this excursion was the victory party complete with food, rum punch, beer and soft drinks.
Hoisting the Main. Grind boys grind
Enjoying the race. Who's at the helm?
The captain talks to the crew
About to leave the pier

We arrived in Barbados about 0700. After breakfast we took a few pictures and then went to the assembly point to catch our tour, Yacht Racing Challenge.
