Jeremy and Jon flew in from DC this weekend and they couldn't have picked a better week! We have just had a large and long-lasting blow of up to 25knots for a few days and the weather has finally laid down. The water is crystal clear and the skies are a brilliant blue.
Brad played in the Cruisers vs. Bahamians softball game last night and we went along to cheer him on. There was a great turnout and the cruisers were loud and rowdy as usual. I met up with some old friends again and also met some new friends as well. Brad played great in the game and was the only player they kept in the whole time!
The whole game was quite entertaining, as the Bahamians are much better than the cruisers....by a long shot! They play competitively and are much more experienced than our team of miscreants. To make up for this, the cruisers get to provide the referees who are more there to handicap the Bahamians than anything else. The referees provided a great source of entertainment as they put a ball and chain on some of the runners, allowed the whole team of cruisers to run around the bases for an 11 run homerun, made the Bahamians run the bases backwards and bat with their bats upside down! It was quite pathetic how much better they were than our team, but the game is a yearly charity event that is all played in good fun. Everyone had a great time, and I think the final rigged score was 26-26.
More Cruisers Regatta events commence tomorrow and with the winds being so low, there is a good chance of snorkeling in the near future!
