Buccaneers Raid Tempe!

Crossed cutlasses, water cannons, and Buccaneers, oh my! In honor of the first race after Talk Like A Pirate Day (Matey' did ye know there be 364 Talk Like A Landlubber days?), the Buccaneers tear down toward the first mark at the beginning of the Tempe Town Lake fall racing series. September 21, 2008, was the first day of fall racing for the Arizona Yacht Club's TTL dinghy racing series.
