With 130 boats entered, the NASS Race to Oxford had to be one of the biggest distances on the Bay this year. It was wet and windy, that's for sure, and racers were sent on a 28.9 nautical mile course from Annapolis to Oxford.
The CHESSS class made another appearance on the Bay after last weekend's Labor Day Regatta, and it was great to see the three single-handed skippers cross the finish line. Craig and Dotty Saunders were out with their two kids after winning the SpinSheet Junior Trophy at last week's regatta. Nice work to everyone who finished: hope there was a dry set of clothes to change into. Yesterday's sailing more than made up for any discomfort you might have been made to sit through...
Donnybrook was the first over the line just after 2 p.m., with the rest of the fleet rounding up by 5 p.m., just in time for a hot toddy.
