HYANNIS, Mass. (AP) - Sen. Edward Kennedy is feeling well enoughafter his brain cancer diagnosis to compete in the second day of an
annual sailboat race between Nantucket and Cape Cod.
The Massachusetts Democrat and a boatload of supporters headed
out from Hyannis Port on Monday morning to compete in the final
half of the so-called "Figawi" race.
A spokeswoman says those joining Kennedy on his sloop "Mya"
will be his wife, Vicki, sons Edward Jr. and Patrick, and
stepdaughter, Caroline. Sen. Chris Dodd of Connecticut, a close
family friend, will also be on board.
Kennedy asked about competing in the race last week, before
doctors determined he suffered from a malignant brain tumor. He
ended up skipping the first part of the race Saturday.
