With a forecast of severe weather that could possibly include tornados or hail, the 2011 CRW Race Committee elected to suspend all racing for Saturday. The inshore and nearshore waters will be filled with the sailing fleet again on Sunday morning with near-perfect racing conditions on tap before Sunday afternoon's 4 p.m. awards ceremony. Sailor John Cook of Atlanta took the day off in stride and told me that he would visit family that lives in Charleston, while another sailor from Atlanta told me he was heading to the beach for a while. The Charleston area will welcome all of the CRW participants while the races are temporarily on hold due to rough weather in our Lowcountry outdoors.
