Thanks for the thread, info, and updates John.

Wish I were there racing ,--seeing a great day of racing in Fla. like Tues. with high winds and seas, --its killing me.

Most know the team that rounds closest to the cape in lighter winds has the best chance to get around it first though the inlet tidal current comes into play . Also with the shuttle out they have to stay outside the yellow cans offshore after that .

We had gunboats with loud speakers and 50 caliber machine guns to back up their warnings chase us off around them one year racing the 1000 mile version of the race .

Safe journey to all .
