Even with Covid, the effect of the cancelled regatta is widespread. Only a few boats in Simpson Bay. Yacht club is not packed. No Heineken merchandise this year. No sale on Myers Rum at Carrifours. No need for tender services, etc. and Port d’ P is very quiet. No people. The amount of money “lost”, is staggering.
As an side, the winds have been, as the weather reported, “blustery”. I remember the year they had to suspend the races as so many masts were snapped.
