Racing (and Drinking) Round Barbados

Ahoy, all you salty rum-swizzling sailor people! I’m just back from a jaunt to the island of Barbados, where I learned a thing or two about how Mt. Gay rum gets made and also sailed in the Mt. Gay Round Barbados Race aboard a Farr 65. The race, I have to say, was just about the most exciting one I’ve ever participated in. We had an amazing finish!
