What a regatta! With 25 captains registering their yachts at The Loose Mongoose, Trellis Bay – host of the registration dinner/party on Friday evening, talk was of ratings and Anegada beaches. Special thanks to Mongoose’s Simon and Caroline and sponsors Mt. Gay & Heineken. At ten on Saturday morning, under the direction of Race Captain Peter Ratcliff, the Committee Boat, generously donated by TMM, set the mark, just outside of Beef Island, for the first race up to Neptune’s Treasure, host of the event on Anegada,

So how was Al and Mitzi trip to Venezuela….

The first island in Venezuela that End of The Day anchored in was Testigos. We had a wonderful sail from Carricou to Testigos. The winds were favorable and so were the currents. The currents can set you 10 to 15 degrees west so keeping a careful eye on the GPS and compass is critical. We spent 2 days in Testigos…. Very beautiful. One island is a frigate island and the frigate birds were having a party. Hundreds of them, flying around. The island also has a huge sand dune that we got to see from the boat but could not get there on dingy or foot because of the tide. ( There was no beach to take the dingy to). One of the two anchorages we stayed had waves crashing on one the northern beach and coming through a channel to our side of the anchorage. Quiet a beautiful spot to watch the sun go down and get a peaceful night sleep.

We not only have a teriffic board - we have a working one. Just ask them - they'll tell you. They never stop. With six large regattas to run a year it seems as though we are all on a constant spin-around. Nevertheless, they do a "bang-up" job and should be recognized. Besides that - we all have an awful lot of fun.

Governor Tom Macan loves to sail and has participated in The Classic Yacht Regatta, The Dark & Stormy Regatta and Foxy's 29th Wooden Boat Regatta with The West End Yacht Club this year. We welcome him, and his lovely wife Janet, as members of our club.
