Calling all fishermen: The weekend of 8/9 – 8/12/2012 marks third anniversary of the Cape Fear Sailfish Classic Fishing Tournament.
The tournament has a new home out of Wrightsville Beach Marina, Marina Street. The good folks there have agreed to help to make the tournament bigger and better for the enjoyment all and for the cause of the primary beneficiary, Cy’s World Foundation.
Bobby Bailey, who was part of the winning team in 2011, helped make this happen. Baileys Maine and Sam Clary of the WB Marina have been most helpful in this transition.

The Wrightsville Beach Biathlon, which begins at the Blockade Runner Beach Resort Dock, was the first biathlon to replace swimming with the growing sport of standup paddle boarding (SUP).
This year’s race is being held March 24th and 25th. The 4-mile running portion of the race takes place totally on the oceanfront sand, presenting a novel challenge compared with the typical paved road race.
For more information call (910) 256-2251.
