Bird's eye view

Our boat looked sharp all decked out in signal flags, the VirginTransAtlantic pennant, and Cornell "Barbados 50" rally flag. This rally was part of Barbados' 50th year celebration of its independence. The rally organizers had requested we come in fully decorated.

As we were arriving two days ago I needed to go up the mast once again (only halfway though) as our flag halyard on the starboard spreader had parted. This is where the Q flag is supposed to be hoisted when arriving in a new country so I needed to resolve that.
