Royal Clipper and Star Clipper - Day Three
We are now off the coast of Dominica, and so is one of the other ships in the fleet, Star Clipper, smaller sister of our lovely ship.
The Captain has promised a treat for us all today as the two ships are going to meet at sea and " race ".
At eight o'clock on the dot Star Clipper sails into view and gradually gets closer and closer until we are side by side. The crew are all on deck waiving to their friends and it is a real party atmosphere as the sails are raised and the race begins.
This is a wonderful spectacle as rarely are two of these ships seen together at sea. The event caries on or an hour before we say our goodbyes and head off in different directions. Royal Clipper won of course !
