Our good friends Mark and Lyndeta decided to host, for the first time in 4 years, a raft race at the Double Deuce Beach Bar and Restaurant on Pinny's Beach. The rules were set weeks ago - construct a raft using rubbish from around the island. Everything down to the paddles needed to be "homemade." Although each team understood the rules - not a single team followed the rules. It turned in to a day at the beach where kids and parents alike took turns having a go on the semi-homemade rafts. I snuck out of the house for a few hours to enjoy the 80 degree November weather and to sit and visit with some island friends while taking in a few races. On the ride home, Hunter and I decided to recreate a legendary picture that was captured 365 days ago.
The Double Deuce
Once again, the Deuce
Pinny's Beach - St. Kitts in the distance
And they're off...
Taken just before it capsized...again.
Mark's raft, taking on water
A few boats off the shore of Pinny's Beach
Not as epic as Round 1 - but still classic
