Miami to Nassau Regatta

Race started as a drifter, Wendell and Kristine's shift almost drifted into a cruise boat but the winds increased, the Grateful Red beat boats and the ten completed the race to Nassau.

Girls Cruise -Nassau to Hopetown

By far the best looking Grateful Red crew sailed a windy full moon night across the open ocean from Nassau to the Abacos. All survived but a little \"beat up\" from the overnight seas. True sailors!

Abacos  Resorts Sail

The Grateful Red Hopetown party brought in a terrific sailing group. Sailed to the Abacos resort - Orchid Bay club in Great Guana Cay. Great fun.

The nephew and cousins sail across the Bahamas banks, wreck diving, stop in a ritzy Bimini yacht club and a terrific sail across the Gulf stream to Fort Lauderdale.
