The Final Day in Vallartaville: One More Wild Day in Paradise
Well now, that was one fine way to end a regatta.
The final day of Banderas Bay Regatta XXXIII came in hot, loud, and in absolutely no mood to take it easy on anybody. The shorter courses were welcomed by just about everyone, because by the time the fleet hit the start line, the breeze was already pushing 20 knots and beyond, and boats spent the day wrestling with heavy conditions from start to finish.
If the first two days showed off the beauty of Banderas Bay, the last day reminded everyone that the bay has a little bite in it too.
And honestly, that is part of what makes this place so special.
