When we got there it turned out that the annual cruisers regatta was starting in one week. This is a two week regatta that not only had boat racing but also had many other events spaced over the course of two weeks. There was everything from tug- of-war to poker tournaments, trivial pursuit tournaments to games for the kids. One of the main activities every day was volley ball and crafting: knitting, painting, jewelry making, etc. Lots of things to do all kicked off by a big party.
Anna went to several seminars about the weather put on by Chris Parker. He comes on every morning on the single side band radio and gives a very professional dissertation of the current weather in the Bahamas. He also gives weather routing info for the boats at sea.

Here Chris looking very professional leading the seminars…

Later that night at the party. (would you trust getting weather from this guy?)
There was free food and three 55-gal barrels of rum punch donated for the party. It was a great kick off to 2 weeks of events.
