Freeport, Bahamas - The 21st annual Grand Bahama Island Regatta took place over the weekend and this year honoured
Walton Rolle. The event was just as busy on land as it was out on the water.
Bahamian Brewery & Beverage hosted the popular National Sculling Championships and Joshua Greene was the winner.
"Though faced with weather challenges, we are proud to have hosted a successful 2016 Grand Bahama Regatta and Homecoming," said committee chair Chervita Campbell. "From the enthusiasts sailors, to the vendors, everyone enjoyed themselves in a fun family filled environment. Our entertainers were greatly received and enjoyed."
