45-50 boats came out for the eighth and final running for the 2014 rum.  A cool northerly breeze 0f 12-20knts presented sailors with a different challenge for the summer series    it felt like fall! Thanks to Steve Zirilli and Drew Peerless for the jambalaya, rice and bread sticks at the after race party.  It must have been great, because again, it was all gone by the time I got there!!!

I will get the photos out before noon. Yesterday at the last moment Becky and I decided to go to Red Fish Island to listen to the Texans. What a nice day to anchor out and listen to another win!

Barely getting them out before noon! https://www.flickr.com/photos/lacyphotos/sets/72157647644409325/ Becky and I got a few pics from Rum Race 8. It was a spectacular day on the bay for our last Rum Race of the year.
