 The classic 74-foot topsail schooner "Wolf" based in the keys, normally chartering tourists on entertainment cruises, set sail yesterday with more than 10 tons of supplies to a remote coastal area of Haiti suffering delays in relief due to inaccessible ports and the time it requires supplies to travel overland voyages from the Dominican Republic.
The Wolf, bearing a shallower build, will be able to anchor close enough to land to be unloaded by a local fishing fleet using dugout canoes.

 The last A-Class vessel to catch the B-Class Lady Nathalie (Lady in Red) during the annual St. Valentines day Catch Me If You Can Race was the Red Stripe two years ago. In 2009 the Lady Nathalie secured her prize money by holding off a powerful fleet of A-Class sail boats including the renowned Red Stripe skippered by Lundy Robinson.
The race will get underway at Montague Beach on Saturday February 13th marking the 23rd edition of the anticipated race hosted by Eleazor, 'The Sailing Barber' Johnson. According to Johnson, this years race event will be even bigger and better than it has ever since its founding in i987.

 I've participated in everything from skydiving and hang gliding to even helicopters, although none of which produces the magic-carpet feel you experience as the windward hull of a multihull sail boat lifts you off the water.
The world will experience a bit of that magic today as the largest and fastest racing yachts ever built join together off Valencia, Spain for the highly anticipated opening of the 2010 America's Cup -- god winds providing that is.
