The Caribbean � white sand beaches, crystal-clear blue waters and palm trees. But it isn't always relaxation and sunshine. In the past two years, Laura Winter and Thorsten Boehnke experienced another side of this popular getaway: they sailed between Trinidad and Dominica on their �new� 1984 New Zealand-built sailboat, pointing their bow into winds of up to 50 knots.

When they weren't testing the boat, they encountered the wild inhabitants and spectacular nature of the Windward Islands. They got up close and personal with nesting leatherback turtles and curious sperm whales, hiked through mountainous cloud forests, visited a boiling lake and paddled up the Indian River to see hummingbirds.

Laura and Thorsten are back on Vancouver Island to share their journey in their newest film, �The Wild Windwards.� Join them to experience the Caribbean from a different side. Laura and Thorsten will be present to answer questions after the film.
