11TH EDITION OF THE SAINT BARTH BUCKET

NO WIND, NO WINNER !They were all ready to go. Thirty

sailboats: from the smallest,Mariella at 80’ to the largest,

Parsifal III at 178’. All ready to try andget their name inscribed on the “Buck-et” that serves as the winner’s trophyfor the Saint Barth Bucket, and infor-mal regatta that brings together someof the world’s most beautiful, andlargest sailboats. Only one was miss-ing, Eole, a god of the winds, who wasabsent from the 11th edition of theBucket, which saw all three races can-celled due to a lack of wind. In fact,the light winds meant that none of theboats actually crossed the finish line.As a result, the 11th edition of theSaint Barth Bucket will go done in theannals of the race as the one without awinner. The first time this has hap-pened in the history of the Bucket!

Briefing, petit foursand champagne!

The Bucket got underway last Thurs-day evening with the traditional skip-pers’ briefing on the yacht, Altitude,anchored at the dock by the WallHouse. Owners and skippers werewelcomed by the race committeeincluding Melanie Smith and her staff,Hank Halsted, Tim Laughridge, andIan Craddock, who organize the eventalong with the Saint-Barth Yacht Club,and in close collaboration with themunicipality of Saint Barthélemy andthe Port of Gustavia. The briefing wasfollowed by a cocktail reception opento the public on the main dock.

Late start, race cancelled Friday morning, 10:00am: each of the30 boats entered in the race — ofwhich four were actually under 100’,Mariella, Boo Too, Metolius, andSymetry — had a crew of 15 to 20aboard as they headed out toward thestarting line to hoist their sails and fin-ish any last minute preparations beforethe first regatta, traditionally a sailaround the island. Out by the littleislands off the coast of Corossol, therace committee was aboard the yacht,Sovereign, and ready to start the raceas planned at 11:00am. The wind,which had been light since early morn-ing, got even lighter and barely regis-

tered three knots. Not enough to navi-gate! The wait was long, the sun hot,and the situation did not improve. By12:00 noon, the race committee andthe organizers decided to cancel thefirst regatta, to the dismay of allaboard the various boats as theyreturned to the dock.

Starts but no finishes Saturday morning: a Southeast windblew up to nine knots at the break ofday. Navigators and organizers wereonce again hopeful that they couldrace. The itinerary of the second regat-ta is in the form of an Olympic trianglearound the small islands of Boulanger,Pelé, Frégate, Bonhomme, andFourchue, with the starting and finishlines between the committee boat andgros îlets. At 11:00am, the first sail-boat, Ohana, left the starting line, withstaggered starts continuing until1:18pm when Visione was the finalboat to set sail. With spinnakersunfurled, the boats navigated at mod-erate speed on flat seas. As they camepast Frégate, many of the boats had totack due to the Southwest wind. Thedescent from Frégate toward Fourchuewas spectacular, with the sailboats sideby side with their multi-colored spin-nakers full of wind. A large cloudmoving from West to East broughtrain, and some stronger wind but itonly lasted a few minutes. After theshowers, the wind calmed down defin-itively and the same ordeal startedagain for the boats in the race: hours ofwaiting for the wind that never reap-peared. At 4:00pm, the committee putan end to the torture, and announcedthat to all boats that unless the condi-tions improved in the next 30 minutes,the race would be suspended. Which iswhat happened. More fun was had onthe dock as the night fell and a crowdgathered to admire the boats and danceto the music of RMI.

Sunday, race shortened and finally cancelled

The weather forecast was no better onSunday than the other days of theregatta. The wind, still blowing fromthe Southeast, was still very light. Theboats played along: after all it was the

last day of the race. At 10:30am, thecommittee announced that the firststart, planned for 11:00am wasdelayed. The race was finally short-ened, with a new Sunday itineraryleaving from the islands off ofCorossol in the direction of the isletsof “la Poule” and “les Poussins” andback again. With spinnakers half full,the boats moved at the speed of snails.After 90 minutes on the water, theorganizers announced that once again,due to the lack of wind, the race wasonce again cancelled. As they say inFrench: “never two without three.”But to finish on a happier note, mostof the boats headed to the bay ofColombier for a picnic, and to give thesailors a chance to recover from theirdisappointment at the lack of wind. The awards ceremony planned on theQuai Général de Gaulle Sundayevening was replaced by a differentkind of event, mostly thanking thosewho took part. Since there was no win-ner, this year’s Bucket was dedicated toTommy Taylor, co-founder of the Nan-tucket Bucket and owner of Avalon,who was tragically killed in a snowmo-bile accident in mid-February. After thededication, the race organizers preced-ed to give out four prizes based on thebest starts. Antara took the first prize,Altair the second, and Visione the third.The can of snails, usually given to theslowest boat, was given this year to therace itself! The doyenne of the race,Grandma Betty aboard Perseus, wasgiven the Huismann trophy. The Spiritof the Bucket prize, given ChurchillYachts, went to Antara, which also wonthe prize given by Perini Navi ship-yard. The crew of Endeavour wasnamed as the best crew. Mayor BrunoMagras gave the medal of Saint Barthto each winner as usual. The party end-ed with a cocktail reception and theprojection of photos and videos of therace shown on a large screen.

Histeam, Laporte-Lambert, drove vehicle N°702, which was ondisplay for the occasion. The car , custom designed by Kikiand friends, is a modified version of a mini Moke XXL,with a Mercedes 300 GD motor. The next day, Saturday, thecar and its driver attended another event, this time open tothe public at the Bacardi Café.

Le Tenace, a high-seastugboat from theFrench Navy usually

based in Brest (France), isin the West Indies for athree-month mission, and isplying the waters of theNorthern Islands, at therequest of the regional mar-itime affairs director, DenisMehnert. He was in SaintBarth last Monday, atwhich time he helped withcontrol operations in thewaters of the Marine Park:“Twice a year, as reinforce-ment to actions in thewaters of the West Indies,the Navy sends one of itsboats that are based inBrest,” explained DenisMehnert. “Concerning LeTenace, in addition to sur-veillance of illegal immi-gration, and the fightagainst drug traffic, we

have recommended to theCOMAR (Marine Com-mander for the Antilles, towhom Le Tenace reports)to ask the boat to patrol inthe islands of the archipela-go where the government

has the least presence. Thatis the case of Saint Martin,the Saintes, Désirade, andMarie Galante, as well ascertain specific spots suchas the marine park in PetiteTerre or the Grand Cul deSac Marin, where in thelater case, controls weredone with the dinghy fromLe Tenace.”

In Saint-Barth, where thedraft is just a shallow sixmeters, Le Tenace couldnot tie up at the dock andremained anchored in theouter harbor. Its command-er for the past two years,Pascal Huet, helped thedirector of maritime affairswith the organization of the

arrival of the Transat Ag2r,during which Le Tenacewill offer its aid. Huet alsomet with the staff of theMarine Park, and met withthe Mayor, as well as theFrench captain of the cruiseship, Le Levant, whichpulled into Saint Barth lastMonday. Le Tenace left Brest onFebruary 27 and arrived inFort-de-France in Mar-tinique —its home baseduring its stay in theAntilles — on March 18.Its arrival caused quite astir as it escorted a cargoship 318’ long that was fly-ing a Panamanian flag,aboard which 1.5 tons ofpure cocaine (hidden in thestructure of the boat) hadbeen found two weeks ear-lier, on March 3. Called“Master Endeavour,” theship had been captured afew days earlier by Frenchmarine commandos in thewaters off Cape Verde,

approximately 1,300 kilo-meters west of Dakar.Accompanied at first by thetugboat, Rari, and then bythe frigate, Germinal, thecargo ship was finallyescorted by Le Tenace asfar as Fort-de-France, theclosest French port to theplace the ship was seized.

Weather Report for March : Hotter than Usual

Dryness reigns in a hotter month than normal Every month we present a recap of the local weather, written by René Fury, director of theFrench weather service's local bureau, EspaceMétéo Caraïbes.

Temperature The average maximum temperaturefor March hit 85°F rather than thenormal average of 83.4°F. Thenighttime lows were also higherthan average, at 74.6°F rather than

73.2°F. The lowest temperature was recorded onMarch 15 at 70.7°F and the highest on March 9, at89.2°F, within the average for the season. The humidity was also within normal range, between56 and 84% as average for the month, in spite of aparticularly humid period from March 27 to 30.The ocean temperature — a little under 78.8°F at thebeginning of the month— was rapidly heating up,already reaching 80.6°F by the end of the month.

Rainfall With 10mm (0.4”) of rain recordedduring the month, compared to anaverage of 38mm (1.5”), themonth of March was unusuallydry. But added to the rain that has

fallen since the beginning of the year, a total of142mm (5.6”), the rare drops that fell in March havenot changed the fact that 2006 remains a normal yearon the rainfall charts. The dryness on the island isnothing compared to that of 1968, 1977, or 1959.

WindThe wind from the East-Northeastwas moderate at the beginning ofthe month with gusts up to 70km/hon March 11. The wind subsided

toward the end of the month, and shifted to aSoutheasterly orientation.

Weather forecast The forecast for the beginning of April may call for alittle rain, perhaps in the middle of the week. The fore-cast for May, June, and July look as if they will benormal in terms of temperature and rainfall.

At the request of theSaint Barth MarinePark, Jean Paul

Vernoux recently discussedthe problem of ciguatera(fish poisoning), during aconference held at theMétéo Caraïbe offices nearGustavia. He explained thatSaint Barth, like Saint Mar-tin, Anguilla, and Saba, aswell as the Virgin Islandsand the Bahamas, wasamong the West Indianislands the most concernedby the potential of this foodpoisoning, a problem thateffects between 30,000 to50,000 people each year,primarily island natives orsailors who consume largeamounts of fish.

Cause discoveredrecently

Although it has been a prob-

lem since the 16th century,the cause of ciguatera wasunknown until just recently.In fact, it was in 1977, whenthere was a bout of the dis-ease in the Polynesianarchipelago that tworesearchers discovered therole played by “Gam-bierdiscus toxicus” (a livingmicroscopic organism thatthrives on dead coral and isfound in certain algae) inthe development of the dis-ease. The means of contam-ination is simple: the poisonis concentrated in the tissueof herbivore fish that feedon contaminated algae, thenthe poison is transmitted tocarnivore fish who havedigested the herbivores.Man, the last link on thisfood chain, gets sick oncehe has ingested a certaindose of the toxins, or an

amount above his level oftolerance.

The erosion of coral,an important factor

Although this microscopicorganism multiplies natural-ly in a limited fashion, it candevelop more rapidly undercertain conditions. Accord-ing to Jean-Paul Vernoux,the various conditions thatcan encourage the growth ofciguatera include repeateddamage from hurricanes,dramatic changes in temper-ature, and all activities thatcan cause damage to thecoral reef.

It can be treated!During the conference, anative of the island indicat-ed that in the past, whilefish was being cooked, onewould plunge a silver spooninto the fish. If the spooncame out black, the fish wasnot eaten. This indicates thatfor a long time, people havebeen concerned about thisproblem, which is generallynot fatal, but can causedamage to the nervous sys-tem as well as cause painfuldigestive difficulties. Yeteven today it is still difficultto judge the safety of a giv-en fish. Ciguatera does notalter the appearance or thetaste of the fish. Cookingdoes not solve the problemeither: fresh, frozen, or salt-ed, the toxins remain thesame. The food poisoning isapparent within the first 12hours after eating a toxicfish. The only way to besure not to get ciguatera isto avoid fish that are con-taminated (see below). Inthe French West Indies, thegovernment restricts certainspecies that are suspect.And if you get ciguaterapoisoning? In the absence

of specific medication, thetreatment is based on symp-toms. In mild cases, this canmean vitamin B therapy, aswell as calcium gluconate,anti-diarrhea pills and anti-histamines. In more seriouscases, the solution is manni-tol, an osmotic diureticagent used mainly to reduceintracranial pressure in thecranium

SymptomsSymptoms of the diseasecan include nausea, vomit-ing, diarrhea, cramps,excessive sweating,headache, and muscleaches. The sensation ofburning or “pins-and-nee-dles,” weakness, itching,and dizziness can occur.Patients may experiencereversal of temperature sen-sation in their mouth (hotsurfaces feeling cold andcold, hot), unusual taste sen-sations, nightmares, or hal-lucinations.

Species at riskResearch shows that of thepeople who suffered fromthis fish poisoning in theGuadeloupe islands, 45% ofthe cases were caused by theeating of bar jack, followedby 31% from gray snapper,8% from grouper, and final-ly 4% each by barracuda,swordfish, and mackerel.Yet the champion in termsof concentration of theciguatera toxin is the bar-racuda, and the consumptionof this fish is highly discour-aged. Other fish, includingeels, are also contaminated.It is important to note thatthe fish caught out at seaand served in local restau-rants are not affected byciguatera poisoning, soplease continue to enjoyyour favorite fish dinner.
