Hi one & all! I have just returned from a weeks cruise of the caribbean (yes, it was on one of those floating townships - but at least I was on the water!) While in St. Maarten I got to race (as mainsheet trimmer) on the old Stars & Stripes (US #55) again

Derek,

My wife and I are thinking about a the same, or similar cruise next year. I'm looking forward to the America Cup racing in St M's. Thanks for the plug.
