Yachts in Port St. Charles Marina

"TRIBu'" just departed Port St. Charles marina and Barbados about 10 minutes ago.

"Ziacanaia" is down at the marina... I'll see what I can do in terms of photos, she obviously came in when I was out photographing "Vava II" and was away from the pc.

Turns out another yacht was down there as well, one called "Fortrus"..never heard of seen her.

Yes she definitely looks Inace for sure, the same thing I thought. I just never heard the name before of seen her in her current state. I knew of the previous name you quoted. Thanks for the compliment.

PSC Causeway yesterday evening...

Not at Port St. Charles Marina but I didn't want to create a new thread. Not too long ago a vessel caught fire not far off Holetown, about 3.5-miles off shore. I am assuming it was a sportfish kind of craft. However, one of our Coast Guard Damen 42-meter Patrol boats responded to the call and out the blaze.

Some information on that burning vessel...

So it turns out that two seafearers from St. Maarten rescued eight Barbadians. The eight persons were in a dinghy when rescued. The St. Maarten pair of the yacht "Blue Passion" were travelling for about four days and were tired when they saw yellow smoke. Captain of the Blue Passion said that the dingy was leaking air and taking on water when they got to it. The Captain Gregg Langridge picked up the stranded men from the gutted "Big Deal" and took them to Port St. Charles Marina.

"Vive la Vie"

Just after 13:00 local time, the 60-meter Lurssen "Vive La Vie" rolled into Port St. Charles Marina. Got there about a minute later than I wanted to have been...so you will have to do with these shots. Sorry...

Some more...

Last set...

Will see if I can go and take some night photos this evening.

Thanks. Didn't get the shots I wanted but the set there came out okay. "Vive la Vie" is beautiful and VERY compact and deceptive at certain times she looked like a 70-meter even though I know she is 60-meter. Lurssen built quite a few of those boats, that look small but when you really see them, your eyes open wide. "Linda Lou", "Solemates" "Arkley" etc.

A few overhead shots of the yacht club area and marina from the company that built it, Jada Group.

One thing I didn't know about "Vive La Vie" is that the backlighting to her nameplate changes colours!

Here are some photos I took tonight...
