FIGAWI RACE WEEKEND: May 25-27, 2013 - The Race: Serious fun, camaraderie, and sailing... that's what Figawi Race Weekend is all about. Over 200 boats & a thousand+ sailors will convene for the Northeast's first major regatta to kickoff every summer 

Congressional Hearing: Audra Parker testified at a Congressional Hearing on April 16th, requesting an independent assessment of the Cape Wind project, including a cost-benefit analysis. Link

Message from Audra Parker, President & CEO:
To the Friends of Nantucket Sound:
I am writing to answer three questions we have received lately from you, our supporters, regarding recent Cape Wind events.  I also want to assure you that with your continued help, we will defeat this struggling project.  With five federal lawsuits facing Cape Wind, public outrage over its high cost, and financing uncertainty, 2013 looms large as the beginning of the end for Cape Wind.
