I'll be there....Juana's is a blast! Typically Saturday is a distance race down toward Pensacola, and Sunday is windward/leewards near the bar. There is very little emphasis on the competition....it's all about the party. Prepare to have a damn Good Time!

My wife & I watched this regatta from the beach in '07 and is the sole reason we decided to get a sailboat. Sailing had never even crossed our minds before, but watching all the boats out on the water my wife said "we need to get one of those!" 1 month later, we did!

My best advice is: Make sure you get some key lime pie from Sailor's Grill next door to Juana's! It's world-class good.
