September 22 – 28, 2012
Being here during the week-long cruiser regatta felt like being at summer camp. Every morning on the net they’d announce the day’s activities. Sometimes we’d participate (we loved going to the talks on whales and on New Zealand) and sometimes we’d opt out (we stayed away from anything messy like the pie eating contest and the egg toss). The week overall was a lot of fun.
After Regatta week was over, people started to leave to go to nearby islands, but the town did not empty out. For every boat that would leave, another boat would come in. We began to see more of our old friends arrive, and the town remained pretty festive. -Cyndi
