...Chop on Martha's Vineyard. Andiamo beat the other M-boats, when Prestige, after leading half the way, dropped back to finish last in her class. The second day was so foggy the race committee considered calling off the longest leg of the cruise, 73 miles around Cape Cod to Provincetown. When the fog finally lifted, there was almost no wind; the boats drifted along the rough elbow of the Cape till dark.
