Yole racers about to pass on either side of us!
What a surprise it was to come out of Marin Bay, over to St.
Anne’s and find ourselves literally in the middle of Yole racing. There were a large number of very
colourful double square sailed boats; all quite narrow and sporting rows of
long bamboo poles; with crews of over a dozen strong. They were awesome to
watch.
We sat in the water to allow the racers past us, and then
proceeded to anchor; only to realize that these Yoles were racing through the
boats at anchor! It was great for pictures….
oops .... not a good ending
watched also by our friends on Serenade
coming straight for us...
...they had to tack to avoid us!
notice the crew member 'paddling' on starboard
great team work
the fine art of balancing the boat
watching them as they passed our stern
