Registration for the Bacardi Invitational Regatta, Miami FL is open!

[Steve Chapman]

We all love to sail in Florida when we get the chance. Following on from the Sarasota Winter Series (see separate thread) is the Bacardi Invitational.

March 5-7 Bacardi will be letting the rum flow and making sure we have a great time on the waters of Biscayne Bay.
