The current Greece / Turkey border crisis reminds me of our encounter recently at the Greece Turkey sea border off the coast of Kos. Not exactly 'Greece under attack' as some media reports have been saying but it demonstrates how it's not just about rubber dinghies full of immigrants or refugees. This jetskier easily evaded the Hellenic Coast Guard high speed boarder patrols, dropped off a passenger on Kos and returned to Turkish waters in the space of about 20 minutes! Now we're in Spain the border crisis feel just as bad with near daily Maydays on our VHF from migrant boats entering Spanish waters from Morocco. _________________ PLEASE NOTE: YouTube have disabled comments on most of our video blogs (and on other family channels) due to safeguarding issues regarding minors on the YouTube platform.

Excitement and anticipation were building in English Harbour, Antigua over the weekend as we counted down to Race Day 1 of the 2019 Oyster Antigua Regatta! Thirty Oyster Yachts have gathered in Antigua this year to enjoy exhilarating sailing and fabulous shoreside parties in one of the world's most outstanding sailing locations. The UNESCO world heritage site Nelson's Dockyard, English Harbour, is a fitting venue for a very special double celebration in true Oyster style. On Sunday 7th April, a welcome celebration was held marking the final chapter of the 2017-2019 Oyster World Rally. The second edition of the 27,000 mile circumnavigation came to conclusion, where it started in the spiritual Caribbean home of Oyster. Following the memorable occasion, the 42nd Oyster Regatta will take place from the 8th to the 12th of April. Racing kicks off at 11am AST on Monday 8th April 2019 where 17 Oysters with close to 200 Oyster owners, guests and crew, will enjoy a mixture of course and passage racing, taking in a lay day mid-way through, and memorable shoreside parties at some of Antigua's renowned destinations.
