...their last six races.“There was a pretty steady wind out on the river,” Palmer said. “It was a little different than our normal situation out there, but we were able to take advantage of being home. We had a rough Saturday but were able to compete well on Sunday after bonding over Zoe’s My 3 Sons (some breakfast meal at a restaurant) on Saturday night.”Sophomore skipper John Stokes and junior crew Michelle Konstadt took third overall in the B division, finishing with...
