It can be a hard life here in the Caribbean! This photograph shows the Tropical Trader experiencing one such difficult day.
Indeed at present St. Lucia is awash with some wonderful yachts, over 200 of them, all participants in the 2009 Atlantic Rally for Cruisers (ARC). The rally is held annually when they sail from the Mediterranean (Las Palmas de Gran Canaria) to Rodney Bay, St. Lucia. Almost all have now arrived and it is party time down at the marina!
This is an important event in the St. Lucian calendar as it brings much needed revenue to the island as well as considerable publicity around the world.
So, if you are a yachtsman or someone just interested in seeing boats of all shapes and sizes, it is a good time of the year to visit this wonderful island.
