FAMILY FORTUNES PREVAIL IN CLOSE-FOUGHT ACTION

Husband and wife crew Leslie and Anna-Lee Alleyne added another navigational victory to their already impressive cv on Sunday (September 21) when they won the Regional Fire & Security September Safari, round three of the 2008 Barbados Rally Club (BRC) Mud Dogs Safari Championship.
