Brooks Island Race 2020
Congratulations to Rory Pierce for finishing the 2020 Brooks Island Sailboat Race held by the Richmond Yacht Club! Kids as young as 10 years old sail themselves 5.23 miles out of the Richmond Channel, into the bay, around Brooks Island, and back to the club. Most most of them in an 8-foot El Toro sailboat built for one.
What did Rory say?
Before the race: “I need to watch for Kraken and Great Whites.”
After the race: “That was easy.”

The Pierce kids are burning out their new Kindles this Winter break reading all, and I mean ALL, the Ransom Riggs books. All at least once. Not since Harry Potter have we seen such action . . .
