Wednesday Night Traffic off of Cockenoe Island
With light winds slowing things down, tonight’s sailing regatta was the scene of quite the traffic backup as dozens of local and visiting yachts raced to get around the E marker near Cockenoe Reef. The Wednesday night regatta tradition includes Cedar Point Yacht Club, Saugatuck Harbor Yacht Club, and other local clubs with their vessels all joining in on the friendly after-work competition on the Sound.
