In response, some of those excluded entrants decided to cruise over from the mainland a week or two after the race as an informal group.

A day of familiar difference at multicultural festival

Daniel Puentes. We may all march to the beat of our own drums, but this day showed just how well those drums fit together, and how community comes from the harmony of us all.
