Antigua Classic Yacht Regatta; part 2 — Dinghy Concert — April 18, 2014

As I mentioned in the previous post, Good Friday is by law a holiday on Antigua during which no alcohol can be sold or dispensed, so there were no parties scheduled for that night.   A night at Regatta without a party?   That could not be permitted to stand.   Dave and Trudie (Persephone) approached Jack and Jo (Bodacious) and it was decided to have a dinghy concert off the stern of Bodacious.  Dave and Trudie performed — Dave on guitar and Trudie singing.  Patrick (Island Dream) was also asked to perform, and he was the opening act, singing and playing the ukelele.   Dave arranged to have professional-style speakers and sound equipment, including lights.   They performed on the upper deck of Bodacious, with Bill (Dolce Vita) as sound man and myself as the “official” photographer.   At least 60 dinghies attended, each with their own libations and with nibblies to pass around.
