Here is a video of our adventures on the Neptune Regatta...
This Neptune Regatta was extra special...not only were we sailing it on our own Sea Monster, but we also had Keith and George all the way from Ireland to join us on the adventure! And I couldn't think of two better guys to have along....such fun!
There is nothing as free and as amazing feeling, to me, as setting sail for a few days out in the wild sea. I love being at anchorage, in exotic and beautiful, uninhabited islands that one can only reach by their own boats. The tranquility refreshes the mind, the adventure brings back vitality to the heart, and the fresh, clean air and sea water replenishes the body.
And I know it was extra cool for Fint to have his good friends George and Keith us on board. It made for a extra fun time full of laughs, Tayto, Cadbury and maybe a bit of rum!

Race to Zero....Keith and George were on their way to be Pollywogs no more!
The Race to Zero, is the race where all the boats cross the equator. Before you cross the equator you are known as a Pollywog, and after you cross over you are given the title of a Shellback. It's a great honour bestowed by King Neptune! :)
Welcome to the club George and Keith!! :)
