TACKING AND JIBING - OR NOT

NHAT MEYER/The Virginian-Pilot

Sailboats float in Crawford Bay as they await the start of the 10th

annual Cock Island Race. A lack of wind created some problems for

the 283 boats and crews that were participating in the race down the

Elizabeth River. Despite a late start and some stalls during the

race, the sailing event did go on. See story, Page B3.
