Shaw Island Sailors Set Sail Today

The 56th Annual Shaw Island Classic kicks off this morning—head down to the docks if you want to watch some serious sailing happen. But that's just the opener: today's also packed with the Fly-In, a book fair, a car show, studio tours, and neighborhood walks. Pick your adventure (or do several). Fair warning: 76 degrees and glassy conditions mean the island is *full* right now, and golden hour at 7:53pm is going to be absolutely worth your evening.
