Edgartown Update

The 420-A team has been busy on their journey to Edgartown! They left WDYC at 9:00 this morning and were off to Falmouth. They took the trailer of 420's on the ferry from Woods Hole to Oak Bluffs. Once arriving on the island, they took all of their luggage on the bus from Oak Bluffs into Edgartown and arrived at EYC. At this time, they took the Chappy ferry over to the island where they unloaded the trailer and rigged the boats (see picture above of unloading). Once all of the boats were ready for tomorrows racing, the sailors came back to Edgartown Yacht Club and received their housing for the next few nights. They are generously housed by EYC families during the regatta. After arriving at their houses, they showered up and settled in. They then went back to the club for dinner and a skippers meeting. As you can tell, it's been a VERY busy day! We wish them the best of luck and will keep you posted throughout the week. GO WDYC!

** A BIG THANK YOU TO MRS. DODD FOR ACCOMPANYING OUR SAILORS OVER TO THE ISLAND, WE REALLY APPRECIATE IT!!!**
