Family Island Regatta

It's Regatta time in George Town!
We've returned to see the races, and what cool races they are!
The boats are built by hand, here in the islands-and the sailing is like nothing I've ever seen before! (These guys are crazy!)

Running Tide is owned and crewed by some of our new friends from Salt Pond, Long Island. The wife of the captain said it best... "Running Tide, she like wind!"
And she does! She flies!

We had a blast today, following the race from our friend Rusty's boat, "Sea Yawl Later".
He got right up in the middle of the action
(I think maybe he's a little crazy, too!).




























These pics are kind of all over the place... sorry!- It's late, I'm tired, and I'm going to run out of internet minutes again soon!- so here ya go!









At the end of the day, we had a time of sweet sorrow, as we said good-bye to Deana and Troy, a couple we've gotten to know and love. (not the best photo... Ted was still up on the roof of Rusty's boat). We've traveled the same "roads" up till now- but they're heading south for the D.R., and Puerto Rico from here while we head north, back to the states.
Safe travels, Storyville!
We love you, and we'll miss you!

Sea Yawl Later, Kaleo and Morning Glory are moving on in the morning- sailing north.
