Today marked the final day of racing, with only one race for all classes it was a short day for us and we even returned before the other committee boat and secured the easier docking space. Since ABSAR was still out and about the docking maneuver wasn't blocked by their RIB and I almost felt comfortable putting us side-on to the dock. The big prizegiving ceremonies were scheduled for tonight at the dockyards and the volunteers even had a special roped-off section all to ourselves!
I've only posted a selection of pictures from this race day, please take a look at Antigua Sailing Week 2015 for all the pictures.
