The Great Race - Trinidad to Tobago

Carib sponsors a Trinidad to Tobago boat race. It starts in front of the Hyatt hotel and then heads to Tobago.  

There was a crowd of folks out to watch the start at 8 this morning. 

The larger boats are packing 2400 HP. The trip to Tobago wont take long.  They are followed by helicopters for safety.

They were a fair ways offshore as they went past the Hyatt but you could really hear them!
I dont think anyone on the water side of the hotel slept past 8:05 am.
