Bahamas.com: 'One of the local specialties, mutton, is celebrated in the annual Mutton Fest.' The Bahamas Cruisers Guide Thompson Bay page also lists an annual Mutton Fest alongside the regatta. Neither source gives a date or venue, so confirm on the VHF 18 cruisers' net or with the Ministry of Tourism. Position is approximate (Salt Pond settlement), not the venue.
