Friday the 12th here. 12:45 AM

We had heavy rain this morning and through the 1st race. Winds were at about 15 kts. It has since stopped raining and was HOT when the wind died off for awhile. It was very wet and now very sticky.

We are already into the second race of the qualifying round. There are 108 teams racing to qualify for the 30 spots available in the open event. There are 54 teams on the water now for race two.

We had a few bang ups out there and boat 19 is retired for repairs. We have a total of 60 boats here. Normally we will have 56 on the water at a time which leaves us with 4 spares. The qualifying round is not quite full with a few of the planned sailiors having been pre-qualified, so we actually have several more spares on the beach.

I will have a few more pictures up on the Hobie site shortly.
