Gill Commodore's Cup - 33rd St. Maarten Heineken Regatta

Not a bad day for the Gill Commodore's Cup today. 10-12 knots of breeze, 2-3 foot seas, clear skies and lots of turquoise water. I took a couple thousands images and edited them down to neat little video about 4 minutes long. We had a cast of characters on the media boat today. Regatta photographer Bob Griesser, writer Herb McCormick and Roland Fardeau from Voile et Voilers Magazine. Lots of arm chair quarter backing today watching crews getting their feet wet on charter boats. Some pretty messy stuff with kites.
