Organizers of the 85th Bacardi Cup canceled the day’s scheduled race for the 67 registered Star teams yesterday, due to the high winds. The winds are supposed to continue today with big gusts for most of the day, so this could be a problem for sailing week.
The unplanned break from racing allowed competitors to enjoy the hospitality lounge and rum tastings, along with the exhibitions of Rhode Island-based award-winning nautical photographer Onne van der Wal and “150 Years of Bacardi,” a collection of information, photos and artifacts from the Bacardi museum. The image above of a Star Fleet sailing member is one of Onne's photos. The exhibits are located in the North Hall of the Coconut Grove Convention Center and are open to the public free of charge from noon to 7:00 pm daily.
