This rum comes in an interesting bottle !
 
The Bacardi boat is really something to see, as is the entire
Bacardi boat racing set-up.
The Bacardi Semi-Trailer has a complete work
shop
with two spare engines ready if needed.
The Bacardi people have motorcycles and golf carts
that match the rig and the boat.
The competition has several different classes
of boats competing.
The boats were arriving at the Dry Pit area on
trailers while we were there.
We watched as regular maintenance
began immediately.
Boats were lined up where fresh water hoses were
available to an after race wash down.

Because of the large turnout of spectators at
the August power boat races in Orange Beach and overwhelming community support, these
Americal Power Boat Association races were moved from Key West to Orange Beach this year.
