Sailors Have Summer Fun in Oxford, on Shore and Sea
No one really pays much attention to the humidity or dew point before the Tred Avon Yacht Club’s signature summer event, the Oxford Regatta—sailors know the numbers will be off the charts (because, August), but they’re going sailboat racing anyway! This year’s event unfolded August 10-11, with the Friday Race to Oxford canceled due to the remnants of Hurricane Debby blowing through the area. Sailors woke on Saturday to sunny skies and light breezes, which improved at various points over the weekend, allowing for racing in a wide variety of one-design classes on the Tred Avon and Choptank Rivers.
