As you know, I've had Regatta Fever and have been posting Champion Sailboat Journals, Sailing Videos Clips and more. Finally, I have sifted through more than 600 personal photographs of the race week to cull them to a far-more-manageable 59 to share with you. These pics capture the essence of an incredible week. Of course, NOTHING can convey the excitement, adrenaline, pride and sheer pleasure of being there, but I hope to give you a taste.

So, today's blog post is a compilation of photo journal excerpts from the race week for you. All pictures have captions accompanying them, which you'll see if you open the photos individually. Start your photo tour here! (via www.facebook.com/IslandBlog)
Now that Regatta has officially come to a close, I am back to island living: going out for junkanoo drums and chicken souse during election celebration; mopping up from floods after three solid days of rain; battling the mosquitoes that are on the attack after the rains; pulling ticks off my little island dog; cleaning house; cooking meals; doing laundry; catching up on emails and writing projects; dealing with taxes, doctors, health insurance, bill-paying, family requests and the usual "life stuff" that follows us to every corner of the world; catching up with friends near and far; planning summer activities for local children; and always, always, always taking time to admire the peaceful surroundings and remind myself how lucky I am and to keep Choosing the Better Life every single day!
Have a great weekend, friends.
I see that you love the islands just as much as I. Exploring your blog for the first time now. Great stuff. Keep it up!
