It’s Friday morning here in Little Farmer’s Cay and the sun is rising along with the wind. \u00a0\u00a0The forecast (Have I said that we LIVE for the weather?) is for a cold front to come through today which will bring with it NE winds in the 20-25 range with higher gusts. \u00a0Yesterday the winds were just about nil with only a light breeze from the south. \u00a0Light winds are not very common here and we enjoyed the respite. Having said that, it was a bit too hot with no breeze to cool things off. \u00a0On top of that, horrors of horrors, the no-se-ums were out in force during the Little Farmer’s Cay Yacht Club happy hour. \u00a0Can you imagine the inconvenience drinking rum punch all the while slapping at bugs that are so small you can’t even see the little buggers? \u00a0Yes, I am sure that you feel our pain.<\/p>\n

In the interest of fair disclosure, I should come clean on the “yacht club” thing. \u00a0Here, in the Bahamas, a local opens a restaurant and calls it a yacht club and the name is about the only thing that’s like what we know as a yacht club. Having said that, today the LFCYC will really be a yacht club in every sense of the word as they are hosts to class racing for Bahamas Sloops. \u00a0As I write this, at 08:00, the mail boat from Nassau, with island music blasting just pulled up to the yacht club dock with a deck load of sloops to be unloaded for the competition. \u00a0Today is the kickoff for a weekend of festivities here at LFC and the biggest event of the year in these parts. \u00a0I understand that there will be racing, music and plenty of fun for all. \u00a0I can’t wait.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nThe owner and self styled commodore of the LFYC, Roosevelt Nixon (is that a great name or what?) said to me at dinner last night, that if I came to the dock this morning perhaps I can get on board one of the boats for the racing today. \u00a0That would be fun. \u00a0I’ll have to see what Brenda wants to do.<\/p>\n

Perhaps I should sign off for now so I can stick my nose into the thick of things to see what I can do to participate.<\/p>\n

Ta Ta and Tally Ho for now! \u00a0Off to the races.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
