Pinhey’s Point 2021

The first event was held June 5 — see the results. Conditions varied from dead calm to 20+ knots, but all in all, it was a great day to be on the water.

The second event was held June 27 — see the results. It was a sunny, hot, humid and blustery day with winds from the southwest at 10-20 knots, with higher gusts. Another great day on the water!
