And they're off!

The 30th Anniversary of the Marion Bermuda Race began Friday in 15 to 18 knots of wind sailing in the best waters of the northeast, Buzzards Bay, in the historic town of Marion, Massachusetts.

The amateur cruising yacht open ocean passage is 645 nautical miles of sailing finishing in St. David's Head in Bermuda a few days later depending on how the wind blows!

It is a life experience that can bridge the gap between generations, solidify friendships and foster teamwork.

The Royal Hamilton Amateur Dinghy Club hosts the event.

May 24th - A celebration of everything Bermudian

Every May 24th, thousands of Bermudians line the streets of Hamilton to celebrate their Bermudian Heritage. The Heritage Day Parade is the highlight of the year and what took only two hours five years ago, now takes all day. Mark and I arrived at our "perch" above The Beach at about noon. We only left at 5 p.m. when the last of the parade participants came by. We were later told "Jo crazy bye, ya only go to de parade once every five years..." Thanks for telling us. But it was worth it. We wanted to share some of the images of that day with you so here goes... enjoy!

Who says Bermudians are conservative. No matter what age you are, you can take "some of it off" for a parade.

Fog. Not something you see everyday in Bermuda

What a wonderful surprise to open the door the other night and discover a thick fog hanging over the valley. Not only that night, but also the next day.

The importance of networking....
