All boaters are invited to participate in the 3rd annual Rally to Long Island. We set a course, keep times, and present awards, however, the main focus of the event is to have fun and to get to know other cruisers. We will depart Elizabeth Harbour on the first good weather day of February and we will sail or motor to Salt Pond (about a 6 hour sail for most boats). We’ll have a Bahamian banquet, an island tour of the north part of the island, a poolside awards ceremony at the lovely Island Breeze Resort, and a return race. Some boaters may want to stay and enjoy the week of festivities that Long Island is planning in mid-February. The return race to George Town will be followed by a culminating party and trophy presentation at St. Francis Resort. Click on the link to Racing under events for more information and photos from last year’s event. This event will count toward the new overall sailing championship award to be presented at Regatta in March.
