The men’s open division final, which was whittled from 9 teams to 3 teams on Saturday, ran tonight off Niles Beach. 1. Mick Cote/John Swift 9:05 2. Ray D’Amico/Joe Cominelli 9:07 3. Erik Dombrowski/Glenn Harrington 9:09
The race was the most exciting I have ever seen with the boats neck and neck all the way out and making the turn all together at 4:38. Conditions were difficult with 12 – 15 winds from a little East of South and serious chop. An unattended power boat was anchored in the couse making navigation difficult particularly for the Dombrowski/Harrington crew. The lead changed several times on the way back to the beach with all three boats overlapped at the finish. The New Jersey team of Mick Cote/John Swift will be going to Lunenburg. Well done everybody!
Good Morning Gloucester 
Correction, I had Lunenburg on my mind but the June races are here:
The New Jersey team of Mick Cote/John Swift will be racing against Canada on June 23 at our State fish pier at 10 am. There will be a pancake breakfast at Gordon Thomas Park at 8am beside the starting line.

I am sitting in a 13 foot whaler anchored as a committee boat with Jimmy T and horns and two stopwatches a VHF handheld and a megaphone. You want me to take pictures too ?
