The Regatta

This photo is deep from my archives and several cameras ago, but I want to get into my St. Maarten album. This shows a brief moment from the 2004 Heineken Regatta held annually at the Caribbean island of St. Maarten. It was a crappy day for a race and everyone got a little bit wet. However, nobody really cares about the weather because the island-wide party after the race is what really matters.

 

Photographed from the peak of the Fort Amsterdam peninsula near the ruins of the old colonial stone fort.
