Carolina's District Regatta

A report on the Carolina's District Regatta describing the "races viewed from the back of the fleet." The fleet experienced 75-degree weather with shifty winds. Andy Lawrence won overall with consistent top finishes, John Norton finished second, and Mark Gise third. The regatta included casual social elements like chip and salsa at the keg, and trophy awards featuring hand-embroidered canvas bags with thistle designs and framed watercolors by artist George Polk.
