Chapter XVIII
THE REGATTA The late July morning that broke upon the scene of the last preparations for Honotonka regatta promised as fine a day as heart could wish. There was a good breeze from early morning. This was fine for the catboat races and for the sailing canoes. Yet the breeze was not too strong, and there was not much "sea." This latter fact made the paddling less difficult.
