I don't understand all the "rules" and from their web site, not sure I ever will, but couldn't you just launch and go "outside" fast, all the way down the coast south, turn the corner, tip the boat over (or drop the mast), go under the bridge, right the boat, haul butt back north? Or are there some check points inside where you must stop?

Sounds like Lumpy and Bumpy went the outside route...

And I thought this was some type of a kayak race. Want to bet they ban cats for the next one? <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />
