In the end it was a good result for us. We finished 2nd. on the water , and 4th on corrected time in a very competitive class with lots of local fast boats - real racers .
Today relaxation at Pigeon Point beach thanks to Guillaume and Claudine at Catherine's Cafe, before sailing towards St Barth and then the next race in St Maarten - the Heineken regatta.

According to James Henderson of the Telegraph Travel section
Mad Mongoose
Right at the heart of the "strip", on the junction of Falmouth and English Harbour, Mad Mongoose is a lively, brightly-painted (yellow and blue) roadside establishment. It sees a mixed crowd of tourists, islanders and yachties, who come in for live music (Fridays) and dancing, fired by rum punch and Caribbean beers.

The Galley Bar has a lovely setting in Nelson’s Dockyard, where sailors have enjoyed a drink or two for centuries. The pretty open-sided bar is surrounded by cannon, copper boilers and palms. The place heaves during happy hour, between 5.30pm and 6.30pm.
