The Screwpile Lighthouse Regatta came to end after three days of sailing fun, close races and some great times. The Chesapeake Bay-wide sailboat racing event has become a quite a tradition for sailors across the globe.
Events began on Sunday with light winds and some tough sailing conditions, but by Monday, the winds picked up and the sailing action was hot and heavy.
During the races, sailors competed in one to four races a day over the three days. When the races were done, everyone that participated considered the event another rousing success.
To the winners, the event was even sweeter.
