CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas â The Mayor's Big Bang 4th of July Celebration is underway in downtown Corpus Christi, and Saturday morning
the Mayor's Cup Regatta pitted nearly a dozen small boats against each other for a Fourth of July victory.
Eleven small sail boats carrying 21 sailors competed in the event. The first place skipper was junior sailor 13-year-old Madilynn Ocker and her crew member Emma McGinnis.
"It was very awesome, it always makes me feel so good when I race against different adults and it's awesome," said Ocker.
