The first boat to Dunedin Fl. was I-20 Dennis Bedgood and John Fondrk 5hr 30min. Not the record but close. Everyone who finishes this one is considered Macho! A big distance race.

The Mini-Macho scheduled for Sunday was posponed due to weather The threat of tornadoes will increase to the north of the Tampa Bay area into Sumter, Citrus and Levy but the thunderstorms in the squall line could spawn tornadoes anyplace.

The race was to start at 8:00am. Due to a light fog the start was at 8:30am. Four boats started. Good solid wind with some gusts that lead to one boat over and one pitchpole. All four returned safely to Dunedin. First boat finish time was 5 hours and 30 minutes. Results:

1. I-20 Dennis Begood (Land O' Lakes) and John Fondrk (Dunedin)

2. I-20 Karl Langerfeld (Tampa) and Ben (Dunedin)
