    What can I say?? just had another awesome week in St.Maarten. We did a lot of travelling in one week.
    Our first day,, my cousin took us on his Sea Ray over to St.Barth's. The weather wasn't perfect but still managed to see some awesome yachts. For me the highlight was seeing
    Alfa Nero up close. There were more yachts than I could hope to name.

    more photos

    Went out fishing one day,,, only caught three little tuna. But on the way back in we saw Fox Harb'r anchored in Grand Case. Then later saw the matching jet take off.
    Both belong to the owner of the famous Canadian coffee,
    Tim Horton's. Saw Amnesia anchored not far from there as well. Xanadu was in the Fort Louis marina along with quite a few others. Made a trip to the top of the hill overlooking the marina for some spectacular shots.

    Simpson Bay

    Decided to fly over to another nearby island of Saba.
    This is one shot I've been wanting to get. The Simpson bay area. Some shots of other's at anchor. I've never seen the blue one,, couldn't read any name on the side and the transome door was down.

    Azimut

    Had a nice surprise as well. Got to tour a nice Azimut.
    She was being prepped for a cruise so most of everything was all covered up. So there wasn't much to see.
    I've also uploaded over 100 shots on Webshots so check them out as well.

    I wonder if the crowd is any thinner lately....probably not.

    Do you have any sense for the level of yachting activity from other years?
