Record Shattered:

of Oxford, Md., set a new record time for the Marblehead to
Halifax Ocean Race Monday afternoon, shattering a mark set
in 1989. The American yacht Bella PITA cruised into Halifax
Harbor in record fashion Monday afternoon, just 30 hours, 46
minutes and 52 seconds after her crew departed from
Marblehead Harbor. Read entire article at Marblehead
