AAAAND They’re OFF! Three thousand nine hudred and fourty four plastic shrimp were realsed into the Beaufort River from the shrimp trawler Palmetto Pride during the annual Sea Island Rotary Club Shrimp Race Saturday afternoon with nothing more than the tide to carry toward the finish line. Later, volunteers on kyaks retrived all the numbered, plastic crustaceans, but not before a couple people were made happy with cash prizes for the winners.
