05 April 2011. St Maarten, Antilles, Caribbean.<br /> Wives of sailors see their husbands for the first time in over 9 weeks. Trisha Baily (grey coat, wife of David Hildred) and Beryl Bainbridge (blue coat, wife of Dr Andrew Bainbridge) can barely contain their excitement.<br /> After more than 9 weeks at sea, having started in the Canary islands, the 'Antiki' transatlantic raft gets set to arrive in St Maarten in the Caribbean following an epic voyage. The incredible vessel is crewed by Anthony Smith (84 yrs old) British adventurer, David Hildred, sailing master and British Virgin Islands resident, Dr Andrew Bainbridge of Alberta, Canada and John Russell, solicitor and UK resident.<br /> Photo; Photo; Charlie Varley/varleypix.com
