It's a beautiful weekend for a Regatta

The Etchell's Fleet Regatta Series is being hosted by Biscayne Yacht Club this weekend. You've probably seen these red, white and blue-sailed boats in the bay since yesterday.

With the crystal clear blue skies and cool weather we've been having, they make a beautiful picture.

This regatta is classified as an “Open Event” under Appendix “A” of the International Etchells Class rules, except that all skippers are required to be current members of the International Etchells Class Association.

The Mutiny, Marriott Residence Inn and Hampton Inn are full with the racers, who are keeping it all in the Grove.

Speaking of sports, you may have noticed lots of runners all over the Grove yesterday, they were part of the Regnar Relay, a Miami to Key West run for charity. There are various routes, but all roads lead to Key West. It's a relay race, so people run a certain amount of miles and then hand it off to the next runner. The goal is to end up in Key West by today.
