The Fat Cat crew – line honours in the 2011 Caribbean 1500Blackbird was the first Caribbean 1500 yacht to arrive at Nanny Cay Marina this morning. World Cruising Staff greeted them with ice-cold rum punch and a warm welcome to A-dock.
But Fat Cat received line honors, officially finishing about ten hours ahead of Blackbird last night and electing to anchor for the evening in Virgin Gorda. They made their way to the marina this morning, and joined Blackbird on the end of A-dock for their own rum punch.
Meanwhile, a large portion of the fleet remains in light winds to the northwest, with four boats safe in Bermuda. Many of the Bahamas Class yachts have safely arrived in Green Turtle Cay and are enjoying their own post-event program with World Cruising staff and Green Turtle liveaboard resident Johnny Powell.
Fat Cat and Blackbird were significantly ahead of the majority of the BVI fleet, and we don’t expect any more arrivals until late tonight or early tomorrow.

Blackbird celebrates their arrival with a rum punchA larger group of boats should start arriving on Saturday, and the rest will hopefully follow shortly thereafter. Centime and Adagio have now officially abandoned the rally, and remain safe in the US to enact repairs. Beckoning is also back on the Chesapeake.
