Velocity got a great start and jumped into a 300-yard lead, while Tybee struggled in the surf and couldn't get the spinnaker filled.

Accelerated Chaos broke its rudders at the start, and other ground crews brought spares. They were off again after only about 5 minutes.

Rick will have his morning story and pictures up soon.

SeaCats and Marley's White are not sailing because of "wives." That's pretty much all anyone will say. Apparently, it is because of concern about the possibility of some severe thunderstorms this afternoon.
