It's almost like VH1's countdown of the Fabulous Life or Maxim's Hot 100 list, but then again there's no regatta quite like LYC Junior Race Week!
In the final hours of the LYC Race Week when the boats are being packed up and the friends are waving goodbye, what is left to say? Well the kids all did have something to say, about 50 things actually. I thought it might be a clever way to recap the memorable event by giving everyone a chance to express their thoughts about the regatta we all know and love. And thus, the 50 things I love most about Larchmont was born!
