‘Great turnout’ for August Boat Races @ Carrot Bay! - 6 races were run off as many spectators thronged the shoreline

CARROT BAY, Tortola, VI- The Boat Drama Racing Club Ltd decided to shift the race route of its August Boat Races from West End to Carrot Bay where the waters were calmer on July 31, 2022, and it turned out to be a very good move as it also allowed for more vantage points for persons to view the exciting races.
