Distance Race - Solomons to 78R

Mother Nature and the Chesapeake Bay teamed up to provide good, challenging conditions yesterday for the first distance race of the year. We were seeing 31+ knots of wind with gusts as high as 49! We had big wind and waves in the middle of the Bay! I’ll admit that it wasn’t for everyone, but for the few boats that showed up, there was a sense of accomplishment. We did not break or lose anything. Another, much larger boat tore their main sail lost the battens in their jib.
