Category: Colorful Boats    Title:  Race Day    By:  Richard Shaffett
It’s a big day on the island: Race Day. People have been working on their boats for months, painting, repairing, rigging, and now the big day is finally here. Skies are clear and the wind is right, as excitement builds. Who will win? Afterwards, everyone will meet and discuss the race over some lively island music, with food and drinks on the house. A table by the sea for you and me. A place to enjoy some delicious island food and a tall cool drink, or to just relax at the beach. Let the wind and the waves take your cares away as you spend a long lazy afternoon under the thatch roof of Mañana Cabana. The tide has gone out. Leaving the boats beached. It is time to go ashore for supplies and some rest. Meanwhile the sun beats down as the clouds build. Making a living from the sea is picturesque but demanding. Such is the harmony of life in the islands. Out by the island’s rowing club, it’s too rough to go out. The wind is up and there are whitecaps out on the bay. The boats are secured and the oars are in the shed along with a couple of surfboards. It looks like a big squall is coming, but it will probably be calm again tomorrow. These are weathered veterans of the Florida Straits. One is an old fishing boat which has brought in much of the sea’s bounty through sheer hard work, through fair weather and foul. The other one carried refugees on a dangerous voyage to freedom and a better life. Each of them has incredible stories to tell that would rival any novel. It’s morning at a fisherman’s simple home. The boats are hauled out because it’s too rough. There’s some weather blowing in. For now, the windows are open, curtains billowing and the smell of breakfast is in the air. The palm fronds rustle and birds sing. But soon the shutters will be closed and ran will tap on the tin roof. It’s all part of the rhythm of island life.

Returning from a trip to the islands, I caught a glimpse of racing boats up on the beach. This picture has the boats upon the beach just before the race begins. Not my usual salty, weather worn boats, these are sleek, shiny, well-cared for racing vessels. This picture is meant to be casual, designy and fun!
