Caribbean 1500 in Memory of Steve Black

Steve Black, founder of the Caribbean 1500 rally, began this popular sailing event in 1990 as a chance for sailors heading to the Caribbean to sail in company, attend preparatory seminars taught by sailing experts, and stay in contact at sea through an SSB radio safety net. In this excerpt from season 6 of the Distant Shores sailing adventure TV series we interview Steve as the fleet waits for weather to cast off for the Caribbean from the US east coast. Several participants also share why they love this rally. We are posting this segment in memory of Steve who sadly passed away on March 17, 2014, after a long battle with cancer. The Caribbean 1500 rally continues now under the direction of the World Cruising Club USA. Hope you get a chance to join in the fun!
