The 1st Annual Escape BVI Regatta, held on May 13, 2006, was an exhilarating day for all who were at Smugglers Cove, Tortola in the British Virgin Islands. Clear sunny skies and light winds met participants and attendees after days of heavy flooding and rain making the day a typical one for the BVI. Four classes competed in the regatta - the IC 24 one design, Wind Surfer, Laser, and Dinghies with handicap ratings.Offshore, the competitors were dealing with the challenging, swiftly changing winds testing their expertise out on the crystalline waters. Onshore, attendees flocked to watch the racing and cheer the participants on while enjoying festivities including live music, activities and a barbeque.Our thanks and appreciation go out to the many sponsors and participating organizations who pulled together to make this such a successful community event.To read the full article go to:1st Annual Escape BVI RegattaFor more photos go to:Escape BVI Photo Gallery
