The Regatta starts off with a themed gala party called Opening Night, usually held on Volleyball Beach, and often features a conch blowing contest, various games, fireworks, food and drink, a huge bonfire and dancing under the stars. It has been attended by upwards of 800 cruisers in past years. Cruisers will stop at nothing to have fun!

Rockin' Ron, seen to the right, has entertained us with his Rockin' Ron Dances for as long as I can remember. He has put on many a show for us both at Chat-n-Chill and at St Francis. Next time you see him, say thanks for the dances!
