Travel Haiku - Antigua Classic Yacht Regatta (Caribbean) Poem by john tiong chunghoo

Travel Haiku - Antigua Classic Yacht Regatta (Caribbean)



Antique Classic Yacht Regatta
children talk about marooned on an island
with a great yacht at their side.

Antiqua Classic Yacht Regatta
the children talk about having a beach
all to themselves

Antiqua Classic Yacht Regatta
so long it looks great she says
who cares whether it finishes last


Two great reasons to visit Antigua this spring: It's an exotic, beautiful, fascinating island, and in mid-April it hosts the annual Classic Yacht Regatta. Even if you don't like sailing (and, really, how could you not?) , you have to concede the elegance and beauty of classic yachts. The event features classic ketches, sloops, schooners, and yawls, along with select Spirit of Tradition and J Class yachts, and Tall Ships. Sailors know two things better than most people: how to enjoy the sea and how to tell stories about enjoying the sea. On top of the nautical attractions, Antigua also boasts 365 beaches (though we stopped counting at about five) and the well-preserved Nelson's Dockyard historical site.
