Show dates May 15 & 16 2011

Welcome to the last YachtBlast of the current series, your favorite sailing show and podcast will be back for a new season starting mid November on Island 92. On the final show we take you to the Anguilla Regatta where we race on a Catalina 36 belonging to the St. Maarten Sailing School, and join the crew of a Beneteau 36.7 owned by the Commodore of the St. Maarten Yacht Club. We catch up with the winner of Spinnaker Class, talk to the race officer, and chat with the organizers during the awards ceremony held on the beach outside the Anguilla Youth Sailing Club. You can keep up with what’s happening on the sailing scene in and around St. Maarten through my OceanMedia Blog where you can leave a message and share your thoughts and opinion about anything to do with sailing or the marine environment. Thank you for listening to the show and downloading the weekly Podcast. And special thanks if you bought a paperback copy or downloaded the eBook version of my sailing thriller Caribbean High. You rock!
Until November, fair winds and safe sailing!

Gary.

This week we take you to the Budget Marine’s big party bash which involved a cast of thousands, and preview the Interlux One Design Regatta on St. Maarten’s Simpson Bay Lagoon. We continue our countdown to the St. Maarten Heineken regatta with news of how you can get close to the action without having to race. On the international scene, Banco Popular V crashes out of the Jules Verne Trophy. Jan has the Budget Marine/Gill five day Caribbean offshore marine forecast around the bottom of the hour.

'When it comes to sailing inkslingers, Gary E. Brown is among the best. He’s the voice of experience, and he’s got the bar room bruises and ocean miles to prove it. Want a peek at the underbelly of paradise? Here it is. Caribbean High is an exciting, thrill-a-page waterfront yarn." – Cap’n Fatty Goodlander, Editor-at-Large of Cruising World, and author of Chasing the Horizon & Red Sea Run.
