9/5/11: Deal Island Labor Day Skipjack Races

[ida may]

The Ida May was forced to drop out early from the Annual Deal Island Skipjack Races 2011 due to the strong blustery wind ripping her jib sail to shreds.  We were happy to get out and compete, though, but we will be even happier when we buy her some new sails.  Fourteen Skipjacks competed in the race and they were a beautiful sight to behold heeled over and sails full.  To watch that many Skipjacks sailing is like going back in time.
