Ida May Wins Skipjack Race

idamay.ning.com

The Ida May has made a comeback winning the 54th annual Skipjack Races just off Deal Island yesterday.

Elbert and Gordon Gladden spent several years refurbishing the vessel even seeing a sail fail once in one of the races.

Meanwhile, The Somerset came in second place while the H.M. Krantz followed up in third place.

The perennial favor the City of Crisfield owned by Art Daniels led the pack for a while but had some trouble finding a buoy.

The nine time winner eventually decided to quit the race instead of staying in the competition.
