Grand Bahama Island - Saturday June 20th, 2009, The Bahamas Weekly News Team had the amazing opportunity to experience Grand Bahama Regatta 2009 out at sea.

Although there was little wind and rain came down at times, nothing can compare to being out at sea with the sloops during this serene cultural event. With Captain Don Delahay and first mate Cameron Mackey at the helm, the ride was smooth and there was ample opportunity to capture great video footage, photographs and interviews with sailors in their natural environment on the water.

With copious quantities of Sands Beer on board, we traversed the calm seas along side " The Island Gal" skippered by Marty Bullard and sponsored by Grand Bahama Island based, Bahamian Brewery & Beverage Co., the creators of " Sands Beer."
