Master of Ceremonies David Bowen kept the crowd moving all day, with Febb Entertainment and Sea Breeze RipSaw band great tunes, while Commodore Mark Parrish called the race events. The not-for-profit organizations on the beach all had a good day for new members and donations including the TCSPCA, Red Cross, Baptist Churches of Middle Caicos, Middle Caicos Church of God of Prophecy, with over $1000 raised by the Middle Caicos Sailing Association bar/sales of hats & t-shirts. This year the MCSA is moving all the model sailboats to a smell old house in Conch Bar, and fixing it up with the goal to have an open centre where boat builders and carvers can share their skills and tourists can visit! | |
