    I had the oppurtunity, to go onboard the lovely and sophisticated yacht; Alfa Nero, for a second time- with my first being in january 08. Each year, the marina is filled with these mega yachts, as they make it there home port while in the Caribbean for the winter. Yesterday was no different, for they were out in their numbers strong. along with ALFA NERO, other NOTABLE yachts present were; ICE, NERO, EMINENCE, LEANDER G, SIREN, APOISE, TRIPLE 7, XANADU, SEA WOLF, HAMPSHIRE, FLEURTJE AND AXIOMA.

    Now here are some photos i took yesterday.

    from l-r alfa nero, hampshire and leander g

    Hi,
    this phenomenon is very common across the Caribbean; during, the winter season; where we have above normal sea conditions. It is generally caused by the occasional high pressure systems, which move through to the area from the north; however, it is not an everyday thing and once there are no weather systems present, the seas will be good for sailing. :)
