The morning started with diving for the divers (David, Daniel & Avi), snorkeling for the snorkelers, and exploring a small island for the others (me included). Was an easy exploration for Persi and me who just went up a very small hill - the view was spectacular. Others went up higher hills and saw even more.
By the time we got back to the yacht, the St. Barth regatta was starting and we had a fantastic vantage point. It was beautiful - we were surrounded by the most graceful sailboats and it was almost hard to stop looking at them to walk over to the lunch table, but of course it was worth it.
After lunch a new diving/snorkeling started, but I went with the crew to Gustavia (St. Barth) to replenish the supplies. Gustavia is a very posh little place and of course packed with the people who came for the regatta. Was quite fascinating to see the amount of supplies Matthew the chef bought. Apparently he had never yet seen a group of visitors who ate so many pastries! Victoria also shopped for things to server at the bar, juice for Avi and candy for everybody.
After a lousy overpriced cup of coffee we went back to the yacht. We should have waited to get coffee there... On to Pilates, then a quick shower and back to Gustavia for dinner at a yacht club. Was nice, but again - the boat has better food... Some people stayed on shore to participate in the post-regata party, but came back rather quickly.
