Our crew - Ralph, Lori, and Natalie Vinciguerra, along with family Lou, Janet, Amy Lou and Francesa Vinciguerra. This fearless crew maintained focus as we braved stiff breezes and heavy gusts over the course.

our course track. The starting line was between Rainsford and Georges
Islands, and proceeded North East to make a figure-eight pattern. The
extra lines are our trek out and back from the start and finish.
