Boating and BIG Boating
How about a thread showing other boats and some shots of the spectacular yachts we see in the Caribbean. I will look through the countless photos I have of yachts that have been here in front of us at Saba Rock in the BVI. These shots here are of a BIG boat and other boats that may be familiar to some on OSO.

The makings of another great thread David. I have some nice pics I will post of some of the yachts when I went " down Island " this spring. I felt very small pulling into Simpson Bay in St Maarten ! LOL Should be able to get some of them posted later this morning.

Here are a few BIG boats. Hope it's OK to post saiboat pics. LOL This one did look majestic sailing between St Maarten and St Bartt's.
First 3 pics are in Simpson Bay, St Maarten. That is Northern Lights dwarfing Team PREDATOR at Simpson bay Marina. We also saw Northern Lights last year in the Exumas, Bahamas on our was down to BVI. Last pic is in St Bartt's harbour.

A few more BIG boats found in the North Sound, a popular anchorage in the BVI.

L = 281' ; Beam = 46' 9" ; Draft = 13' 1" etc )
3)- Windship
4) - White Cloud
5) - VF - 15

Well I think I'm going to play in this sandbox too
Pulling into St.Maarten aboard Team Predator after a whirlwind ride that took us from St.Lucia south to Bequia and then back the other way past an a$$load of Islands, flying fish, an occasional breachin whale. a giant turtle, and a Volcano

This one was pretty big
I believe this guy scraped the entire port side along the inside of the drawbridge pulling into Simpson Bay.
