What is Figawi? As the story is often told: Three friends were having drinks at Baxter's Bar in Hyannis, MA, each one certain that his boat was the fastest of the three. To settle the dispute once and for all, they decided to race from Hyannis to Nantucket. At one point during the heated competition and completely lost in the fog, one of the sailors shouted "Where the f**k are we??" – which, with enough of a Cape Code accent, is pronounced Figawi. The boats made it safely into port and decided it was a grand idea to run the race year after year on Memorial Day, and thus the tradition that is Figawi Race Weekend was born. It was Figawi, Memorial Day weekend on Nantucket 2016. Erin was visiting the island for a bachelorette party and Pat was celebrating coming home from a 7 month deployment with his extended family. On that Saturday evening, Erin and her Cru were waiting for a table outside of the restaurant that Pat and his Cru had just finished up at. After a few smooth words, Pat convinced Erin (with help from his sister, Grace) that they should take a photo together...and the rest is history. See photos tab! As Figawi weekend 2016 was coming to a close, Erin and Pat agreed that this would not be the last time that they would cross paths. While 4.5 hours away from each other would make for a challenge, it did not stop them from spending select weekends together while Pat finished up his time in the Navy and Erin completed a move from Burlington, VT to Boston, MA. Erin and Pat are now both settled in the Seaport of Boston. From Figawi to Forever ♡
