Racing Roundup October 18-20
There was a lot of racing (as well as big wind at times) on the Chesapeake Bay this past weekend, from the Great Chesapeake Bay Schooner Race down the Bay to the Round the Lights Race in Hampton, with a lot of variation in boat and race type as well as weather systems in between. Here’s your racing roundup for the weekend of October 18-20.
