On Sunday, July 1, the Offshore & Cruising Divisions sponsored a Junior Race Day. Ten juniors and seven adults took out three boats and enjoyed a brisk sail.With conditions somewhat threatening, we decided to forego a formal race and held a more informal "rally" around to Fishing Bay and back. David Hazlehurst, Jimmy & Kenny Cobb, and Stuart Burnett who provided the boats. Thanks to Dick and Jean Cole who prepared a barbeque lunch for all participants.
