Antigua Sailing Week: Race hard, party hard!

We had been warned by a friend about one of our race crew for Antigua, but no amount of warning could have prepared us for the fun, hilarious jokes and ’pain-in-your belly-laughter’ that Graham brought onto Star Chaser for Sailing Week. A short Englishman, married to a Dutch lady (speaking perfect Dutch as well, so no private jokes there!), Graham is a salesman, an avid sailor and quick learner but most of all a joy for any crew.

And we were a funny bunch: apart from Graham, we had Gwen and Diana: 2 girl friends from the UK, Giles and Richard: 2 friends from the US, Jim: an English retiree from the Dominican Republic, Alan: a happily married Englishman (who was very happily sent by his wife who doesn’t like sailing), ’Senior Management’ aka Tony who is on an adventurous sabbatical year, Tuomas: a young enthusiastic Fin living in the US, Ben: the soon-to be-groom from NonStopSailing and your faithful Star Chaser crew (Boogie and Marlies), reinforced by our engineer Joe who actually knows how to sail as well! Our Americans had burning ears from not only having learned to sail, but also a complete new vocabulary! With Graham as one of the teachers, it wouldn’t be proper to repeat any of it.

For a novice race crew, with some novice sailors as well, we did reasonably well on the water (great last day with outsmarting and outperforming even the expert local boat!) and fantastically well on shore. Every night had Star Chaser written all over it and the Life bar and the Mad Mongoose will long remember the wicked moves pulled out by our crew on the dance floor. Most importantly, we all had fits of laughter at least once a day, all had a fantastic time, all wanting to do it again, sooner rather than later!
