The 68th annual Newport to Ensenada International Yacht Race kicked off on Friday under cloudy rainy skies and minimal wind  conditions. More than 200 boats, including  40-some first-time entrants,  registered to sail the 125 nautical miles to Ensenada. In the race’s prime 10 years ago, up to 500 sailboats joined in. The recession and problems with authorities in Mexico resulted in a reduction in sailors willing participate. For race results and more information go to:  www.newporttoensenada.com
