📰 The Lead

Sailors finishing one of the region's most demanding endurance races are trading open water for dry land today as the Around Long Island Regatta concludes its grueling course. Following days of tactical racing along the coastline, competing crews will steer their vessels toward the North Shore finish, bringing a colorful fleet of sailboats into local waters.
