Daily Herald storyTo me, that's a shame, as it was nicer to have several different venues, and more people could become involved.

I do not at all see that being a positive for anyone other than PDP.

I would say it's EASIER for the Regatta organizers, but otherwise, I totally agree.

I do not at all see that being a positive for anyone other than PDP. Well, count me as one who sees it as a positive. We own at SBR for eight weeks, including Regatta week. I love the Regatta and patronize AquaMania's watchboats every year. But the noise on Saturday and Sunday nights from the giant speakers coming across Simpson Bay is not tolerable. On Sunday the party doesn't end until at least 3 am. I have a neighbor who has tried sleepiing in her bathtub to muffle the noise. So I say if PDP wants the parties for two straight nights, they can have it.

Yes, I'm sure you're right there. A lot of people who own timeshares there probably are happy to not have the noise.

Wendell--not surprising this year, as far as the crowds, or lack thereof.

Right -- the Heineken Regatta is a SPECTATOR regatta, particularly the parties, which HAD been huge in years past, not so much in the more recent times.
