We are in the midst of Race Week now-Jul 16-July 22. Jim and I are co-chairs with another couple to do breakfast every day. Up at 5:30 and then off to the Yacht Club to watch the racers straggle in after a day of sailing and then a party each night. The sponsors set up booths and party apparatus (with live music) each evening in an enclosed area just for sailors. They are having a good time!!!This year we are still unsure of the number of boats registered. Some say 85 and some say 96, (with as many as 5-10 crew on board) but there are also some 40 tenders, or helper boats with places for crew to sleep, eat and make plans for the next day's race. The first two days they've raced in Penn Cove. What a sight to see them all together out there. We hope the weather holds and they get wind each day. Breakfasts are going well, but we have long naps every afternoon since we are up and out before 5:30. I'm going a little late this morning so I can get some more sausage gravy ready to feed the hungry hordes. At night I knit a little more on either washrags or a hand towel. Summer on the island-what fun!!
