There had to be 50 plus (maybe more) boats leaving. quite impressive. Add in a slow motion collision between a mono hull and a huge catamaran right in front of the SMYC patio, quite entertaining. I will make sure to watch tomorrow's 7:30 opening.

Carol I'm sitting at my kitchen table staring out at real Canadian snow banks. . I wish I was there. But don't worry the pictures will be coming when we arrive later this month for a months long vacation . There will be a very special event with lots of pictures to go with it. I will announce where and when once we are on island. Stay tuned. Last edited by Whale Tail; 03/03/2023 10:34 AM.

pat Traveler Joined: Apr 2001 Posts: 14,339 Brookfield, CT.	Years ago, thinking 80s and 90s, we used to lay on our chaises at Mullet and see all the boats off the bay with no clue what it was all about back then. No cell phones and not all that much in the line of communication if you weren’t a boater. Always fun to watch but no idea it was a regatta. Or what a regatta was……we just thought the islanders were having a fun day under sail and good for them. Who knew? 😊😊 Respectfully, pat "Always keep your words soft and sweet, just in case you have to eat them."
