In the next few days most of the team will be arriving in Antigua to pick up Heartbeat IV from Catamaran Marina and take her to Tortola. This is for the British Virgin Islands Spring Regatta but mainly the Round Tortola Race after which we will then go on complete the inaugural triennial Full Moon Race. The Full Moon Race. Heartbeat will be based at Nanny Cay, on the south side of Tortola. Paul, Jason and Judy arrive in Antigua on March 21st, followed shortly thereafter by John and Dani and Nic. Heartbeat IV will sail to Tortola on or about 24th in time for the Full Moon Race in Tortola, where we’ll meet Paul B and Sarah. Here are a few pictures (courtesy of PB) of HBIV getting ready for her next adventure.
