June Boat Race (Crocus Bay)
18° 13.2′ N · 63° 4.5′ W
In June the boat-racing calendar moves to Crocus Bay, which the local guide lists as the start of the Queen's Day race. It gives cruisers a reason to anchor in Crocus Bay for the day.
Practical
Coordinate is the Crocus Bay bay centroid (OpenStreetMap way 231971073). The source names it the Queen's Day Boat Race; the occasion and name may have changed since the monarch's birthday holiday changed, so confirm the date locally. Anchoring in Crocus Bay needs the cruising permit. Keep clear of the start line and the spectator boats.
