And they’re off!!!

Posted on May 25, 2008. Filed under: Uncategorized |

At exactly 12.30 this afternoon the Clippers sailed out of the Errol Flynn Marina in Port Antonio, Jamaica at the start of the 11th leg of their round the world race. From our hilltop vantage point we were able to watch as the yachts sailed past Navy Island behind a Coastguard boat, gathered at Folly Point and then sailed around so that everyone could get a good view of the. Then at 14.00 the lined up and were off, having to do some tacking as the winds were just not quite right. We had wonderful views of them as they finally headed northeast towards Cuba and the Windward Passage. Next stop: New York. We’ll be following them on the clippers website

We wish all the sailors happy and safe sailing, and to Jamaica: GO! GO! GO!
