We have that round patch on our TOPLOC rental car. We shall cruise the island with it displayed and keep it in place in honor of the sailors who made it safely to Gustavia.

The 15 boats will be on the water one last time today for a closing parade.

Congratulations to all that competed. I will plan my May 2020 vacation so as to be on-island during the times of arrival. Was great fun following their progress reported upon....

The St Barth Yacht club, the island sailing school, was damaged by Irma, La Transat Ag2r La Mondiale has donated a Prix de la Solidarité - a Solidarity Prize - to the St Barth Sailing School in the form of a check in the amount of €10,000. Additional funds from an auction of items donated by the crews of the race will also be donated to the school.

You’re so right, Amy! And the solidarity in the community that became so evident after Irma seems — as I’m sure that you see, as well — unbowed.
