HYANNISPORT, MA- Senator Edward Kennedy, Edward Kennedy Jr and Vicki Kennedy in Powerboat (05-25-09)

HYANNISPORT - Sen. Edward Kennedy gave the Figawi Race a pass this weekend, but the becalmed waters of Nantucket Sound proved irresistible nonetheless.

Saturday he and wife, Victoria Reggie Kennedy, hoisted sails aboard the 50-foot schooner Mya and took off from their Hyannisport home for a sail around the sound.

Kennedy has frequently competed in the Figawi, a traditional Memorial Day weekend sailing race from the Cape to Nantucket. Known as a fierce competitor, hes won the 19.7-mile race twice.

Last year, shortly after being diagnosed with a brain tumor, he did the second leg of the race from Nantucket to Hyannis and earned a second place in his division. This year his boat was registered but did not race.

I once saw Ted Kennedy, Jr. starring in a play at the Kopechne Theater - "Treasure Island" - Ted Jr. appeared as Long John Silver

Thanks for your thoughtful reply. This country is going to hell in a handbasket because of elite liberals like Kennedy. I've just touched the tip of the iceberg but the most traitorous act he ever did was years ago when he backed the Jew-authored Immigration and Reform Act of 1965, which opened the floodgates to hordes of Third World squatters. Research it. It is the reason we are becoming "darker" every year - destined to be out numbered and outvoted in the country our ancestors created!

I'd love to have seen the look on the "liberal lions's" face when they told him a federal Section 8 Housing Project would be going up about a block away from his his house in all-White Hyannis Port!

I wonder what his liberal, multicultural attitude would have been?

I thought so. "Not in MY backyard"!

He even protested his beloved "green" energy windmills being put up any where near the Kennedy redidence.

What a hypocrite.

Hr should have been arrested and brought up on charges for Chappquitick.
