Always Plan Ahead

Always Plan Ahead


The morning sun, a painter's golden stroke,
Awakens slumber, whispers, gently spoke.
A brand new day, a canvas fresh and wide,
But how you paint it, where your steps will glide,
Depends not just on whims of present light,
But seeds you've sown throughout the fading night.
For life's a journey, winding, steep, and long,
And he who plans, will always be made strong.

The farmer knows this truth, with calloused hand,
He doesn't wait for sprouts across the land.
He tests the soil, predicts the coming rain,
Prepares the furrows, eases every pain
Of barren earth, before the seed is cast,
Knowing full well, the season flies so fast.
He measures, calculates, with practiced eye,
And trusts the future, ripening 'neath the sky.
So too must we, with foresight clear and deep,
Before the promises we sow, we reap.

Consider journeys, far beyond the shore,
A captain charting seas unseen before.
No vessel sails on hope alone, adrift,
Without a compass, or a timely gift
Of plotted course, of currents understood,
Of shelters found, for when the tempest brewed.
He checks the charts, the tide, the shifting breeze,
Avoiding reefs, and treacherous, dark seas.
The port he seeks, is anchored in his mind,
A destination, carefully defined.
And so, we navigate our earthly way,
By plans laid out, for every coming day.

Bahamian Sloop Sailing and Sloop Racing Regattas: A Tradition of Heritage and Sport

Sailing has long been an essential part of the culture and history of The Bahamas, with the Bahamian sloop standing out as an iconic vessel that represents the country’s maritime heritage. This type of sailboat, unique to the Bahamian archipelago, has evolved over centuries, adapting to the needs of its people, and today plays a central role in one of the most exciting and culturally significant sporting events in The Bahamas: sloop racing regattas. These regattas are more than just races—they are celebrations of Bahamian history, pride, and community spirit.

In this article, we will explore the history, design, cultural significance, and the exciting world of sloop racing in The Bahamas, delving into the technical aspects of sloop construction, the vibrant regatta festivals, and how they continue to shape the country’s maritime identity.

Catalano Media Drone Footage

 

 

 
Great drone footage by my son Christopher Catalano. Chris is a multi-media professional specializing in video, audio and print. He used his DJI Mini 2 Ultralight Drone to capture these Watersports Cars. Nice footage son. Another one of Christopher's photos was used for an ad in the Bahamasair In-Flight airline magazine.
