GRSA's annual Around the Island Regatta is a fantastic, family friendly race event and is always well attended.  This year was no exception with 13 boats entered and 11 boats finishing.  This is our only distance race, around a small island located on the far end of the reservoir. Despite technical difficulties with the committee boat, we had a clean start.  The winds were blustery but our skippers managed to keep their boats upright and crew mostly dry.
