After the carnival fun, an important day of sea safety demonstrations

ARC participants were treated to an amazing party last night sponsored by the Tobago Carnival Regatta at the Sotavento Club. The ARC staff arrived dressed to impress in full pirate gear, complete with bandanas, daggers, eye patches and earrings. It was good to see many crews had made a big effort to come along dressed in fancy dress ready to join in the carnival fun. Live entertainers were flown over especially from Tobago and certainly got everyone in the carnival mood. The steel pan music and amazing ‘soca’ singer mesmerised us all with her amazing snake-like moves.
