| Mega yachts in Falmouth Harbour Antigua
I had the oppurtunity, to go onboard the lovely and sophisticated yacht; Alfa Nero, for a second time- with my first being in january 08. Each year, the marina is filled with these mega yachts, as they make it there home port while in the Caribbean for the winter. Yesterday was no different, for they were out in their numbers strong. along with ALFA NERO, other NOTABLE yachts present were; ICE, NERO, EMINENCE, LEANDER G, SIREN, APOISE, TRIPLE 7, XANADU, SEA WOLF, HAMPSHIRE, FLEURTJE AND AXIOMA.
Now here are some photos i took yesterday.
from l-r alfa nero, hampshire and leander g

Nice to see Uncle Hugh's dock good and busy, if you chat to the skipper of Leander G, say Hi from Fish and K1W1, they are still good mates  | |
