In the past few weeks we have made the trip between Antigua and St Lucia twice. During that time there have been numerous squalls that have come across the islands or the passages between the islands that have produced some of the most spectacular rainbows. As diverse as the squalls themselves the rainbows provide a visual display of color that blends and contrasts with the islands and the surounding landscape. This has been a wonderful accent to the trip our guests have been able to enjoy during their sail with us. The picture above was taken off of Martinuque. This particular Rainbow was actualy chasing us. It moved across the harbor and appeard to almost touch the boat. Guests Scott and Jean enjoying the sunset off of Guadalupe. Every day was a new rainbow as we travelled through the Island Chain.
The sailing in this past few weeks has been nothing short of spectacular and at times down right challenging. Some of the passages between the islands were very lively with 30 kt winds pushing us along at 8+ knots. Wings like the bird she is flew along and across the waves with a powerful and steady grace. She is remarkable in these conditions. Like her designer the ledgendary Ted Hood once said. "There is no replacement for displacement when the wind blows hard and the seas go rough". Wings brings you to sea at a level of comfort most are not used to.
