6Th Work Boat Regatta Attracts Crowd October 1st, 2002 The Abaconian Page 1 VOLUME 10, NUMBER 19, OCTOBER 1st, 2002 6th Work Boat Regatta Attracts Crowd Abaco Rage Wins Class A Championship The sixth All Abaco Regatta was held on September 20-21 on the waters between the Treasure Cay ferry dock and Green Turtle Cay. A total of 18 boats competed with seven boats in Class A, five boats in Class B and six boats in Class C. The weather cooperated so the boats had great sailing on both days. In past years there have been problems with the weather both with shipping the boats here and with sail- ing. One year, 1999, no boats were able to come and again in 2000 only three boats came to compete with the local boat, the Abaco Rage. The races are unique in that the boats be- gin racing with their anchors set and their sails down. At the signal of the start of the race, one group of crew members will haul in the anchor as rapidly as possible bringing the boat into the wind allowing the rudder to take effect. During this time a second group is scrambling to hoist the sail allowing the wind to catch the sail, maintaining the for- ward motion. Under the theme Let’s Do It Again, this regatta is the last one to be organized by Mr. Everette Hart on Abaco. Mr. Hart was Senior Administrator for Central Abaco un- til his transfer to Exuma in August. He came The Running Tide, a Class A work boat from Long Island is shown racing in the All Abaco Regatta held on September 20 and 21. These back for the celebration. But he regretfully work boats, without a ballasted keel, use a pry with the crew scrambling out as needed to form a moveable ballast. The smaller Class told the audience, “This is the last time.” B and Class C boats raced for the two day event giving nine races total. Racing was compressed into two days to reduce expenses and to accommodate the schedule of the freight boats bringing the boats to Abaco. Please see Regatta Page 18 Forest Heights Dep.

Bootle High School for the One Bahamas Celebration 2008 on November 27. The celebration began back in the 90s by Sir Orville Turnquest, then Governor General of the Bahamas. Since then during the month of November a week has been assigned to reflect on what makes us Bahamians and what unites us as one country. With a cool Atlantic breeze blowing, One Bahamas was portrayed in songs, ring games and dances done by students from North Abaco. The schools brought forth their best choirs, dancers and soloists to complete the celebrations. These renditions truly brought out what it means to be Bahamian. In attendance was Sir Orville Turnquest, Sir Durward Knowles and other dignitar- ies from Nassau and Abaco. Sir Orville Turnquest, the Father of One Bahamas, encouraged the students to remember that we are one, no matter which island we hail Sir Durward Knowles was part of the group visiting North Abaco to celebrate One Bahamas. He is shown here giving representa- from. Sir Durward Knowles urged those tives of each of the schools in North Abaco a DVD copy of his life story. He was the first Bahamaian to win a gold medal in the Olympics and it was in sailing. Please see One Bahamas Page 13 Armed Robbery ends in Murder U.S.

Despite the valiant efforts of the Marsh Harbour Volunteer Fire Department, all the houses in that 0.9 acre area were completely burned. The Fire Department was phoned at 5:31 p.m. by a Haitian and Assistant Fire Chief Claude Sawyer was on the scene with the first fire engine within four minutes to quickly analyze strategies to battle the fire. The fire began in the middle of a very densely packed area where houses were so close that the firemen were unable to lay out their fire hoses. Chain link fences pre- vented normal access. Three trucks from the Fire Department responded and later that evening the truck at the airport responded. Two water lines were connected directly to a fire hydrant but pressure was low because of a break in a three-inch line close to the Anglican Church. The firemen were assisted by many town people. A forklift was used to get a hose over one fence beside the lumber yard while another fence behind Sawyer’s Market was lifted by a forklift to allow access to the area. Several containers behind Sawyer’s Market were moved away from the fence. Residents on the rooftops were passed hoses A disastrous fire swept through an area of the Pigeon Pea community in Marsh Harbour on May 28, destroying about 70 homes.
