Waiting for Wind at the RIWKC - Rolex Internaitonal Women’’s Keelboat Championships Sackville Photography Club
Rolex International Women's Keelboat Championships - Hank Stuart, PRO, tried his best, moving the course, waiting for the wind to settle down, waiting for the wind to come up, waiting for the wind to settle, and finally relinquished the race to the wind gods that had not appeared. His efforts were well received by the competitors.

On land, the ladies were greeted by golf carts with women handing out free cold malt beverages.

Tonight is the Artisan Works Art Gallery for appetizers and wine and some very unique art exhibits.
