Creole Rock turnpoint (FP7) at the Heineken Regatta 2013 in St. Martin

I was anchored in Grand Case and listening to Regatta Radio and doing some work belowdecks. I'd just turned on the generator to charge the batteries and simultaneously make water, do a load of laundry and heat up water for a hot shower when I popped topsides to take a look and realized that one of the marks in the Heineken Regatta race of the day was just off Creole Rock. So instead of boring long-distance shots taken from the back of the boat, I decided to dinghy over to the turnpoint and see if I could get any interesting pictures.
I zipped over to the turnpoint, threw out the dinghy anchor, and proceeded to try to take pictures while protecting the camera from the spray and wakes caused by the other spectator boats. I had to extend my dinghy anchor rode as I was dragging dangerously close to the turnpoint (I later realized that my anchor wasn't even touching the bottom with the short rode) but once setup I enjoyed the action at the mark. Instead of culling all the pictures to just a couple for the blog, I opted to create a whole page with the acceptable shots, as I've had 2 boats ask if I had pictures.
