An annual sailboat race from Cape
Cod to the island of Nantucket, taking place at the begginging of summer. It has become a weekend
long event for the island, and is really nothing more than an excuse to get wasted and
walk around town. It doesnt matter who wins the race, as
long as all contstants and townsfolk have consumed copious amounts of alcohol. The word figawi supposedly comes from drunken sailors with the New England accent landing on Nantucket and asking the question, "Where the fuck are we?"
