Photos: Governor Meets Newport-Bermuda Sailors
Governor George Fergusson made his way to the Royal Bermuda Yacht Club earlier today [June 21] to meet some of the sailors that participated in this year’s Newport to Bermuda Race. This year saw the record for the 635-mile ocean race smashed, with the first boat crossing the line less than 40 hours after leaving Newport.
