EXUMA -- The 61st annual National Family Island Regatta kicked off on Thursday with the Class "B" sloop races.
Prevailing after an exhaustive and hard fought battle in the Exuma bay was Lady Sonia, followed by Eudeva; rounding out the top three was Tari Anne.
Annual regattas in Family Islands such as Exuma, Andros and Long Island are principal components of the domestic tourism product offerings in The Bahamas and remain significant contributors to the local island economies.
The three days of culture and sports that make up the regatta event also highlight Bahamian entertainment, local cuisine and revelry, which extends well into the night, long after the conclusion of the races.
During the regatta season, many tourists, especially boat lovers, travel to The Bahamas to socialize with locals and enjoy the sights, sounds, culture and native cuisine.
