Southern Bay Race Week 2009

Southern Bay Race Week, a.k.a. the Black Seal Cup, finished yesterday with an unexpectedly beautiful sailing day. After a weekend of very unpredictable conditions, which primarily resulted in light breeze, the wind filled in nicely on Sunday and the skies cleared at the perfect time.



The roughly 70 boats spread across two race courses in the Southern Chesapeake had three days of racing and four nights of shoreside parties. As usual, the Chesapeake sailors proved that they know how to have fun.

We had a great time and were thrilled with the hospitality at the Hampton Yacht Club. We stayed aboard a 37' Pearson that acted as our waterfront condo for the weekend. It was great to be staying on a boat again.
