Funny how we joked that the first start of the Governor's Cup Yacht Race on Friday in five knots was a "nailbiter," when in the end, sailors had a wild ride! The wind kicked in bigtime in the night, and competitors faced a rainy, bumpy, windy ride to remember.
Here's a pic of the gang at the awards ceremony Saturday night giving their best roller coaster "woo!" for SpinSheet. Congratulations to a few hundred competitors who endured a tough 70-mile overnight race and the sleep deprivation built into it and then came down to St. Mary's to party! Sail on!
Bear with us as we process all of our start photos--they will be up on SpinSheet.com later on Monday for purchase.
