| 1190.1 | Have fun... | AKOV12::DJOHNSTON | | Thu Apr 27 1989 17:42 | 12 |
| I am amazed at the amount of very positive press this event is getting
recently. I've done three of them in the hope it will get better
and have given up totally. The weather usually is not the greatest,
the party is held in the only industrial area of the island, and
to be honest, there is only so much fun to be had in a dusty tent
drinking and drinking and drinking. True, it is a charity event,
but my strongeset memories are of cleaning puke off the foredeck
and coming back to my boat and finding a coke deal in progress in
our cabin merely because we forgot to lock it. What a blast.

| 1190.2 | Is that the name of an Indian tribe? | FDCV06::DARROW | Free mooring in Lexington | Thu Apr 27 1989 17:49 | 5 |
| For the uninitiated, just what is the 'FIGAWI'?

Gee Dave ... Sounds like most of the regatta's I've been to. If
you can remember what happened, you didn't have enough "fun".

Its the name of an Indian tribe that often got lost in the fog
crossing the bays. When that happened the braves could be heard
calling to the chief, "Where the FIGAWI?".

qualify ? Who do I talk to for registration ? ETC, ETC ???

| 1190.6 | not sure you can still get in ... | BOOKS::BAILEYB | too much of everything is just enuff | Mon May 01 1989 09:18 | 9 |
| I'd be surprised if you could enter this race at this date. Last
season we sent in an application in early April and were told the
event was "booked". They do limit the number of boats that can
enter.
Good luck,
... Bob

| Entry is limited to about 250 boats. The limiting factor is what
the Nantucket boat basin can hold. What a racket. That plac ewould
be empty this time of year without this farce of a race.
