First day of the CRAM tune-up regatta. 14 F17s so far. Winds built to 17 gusting to 24kts during racing. 2 races were completed before lunch with a record 12 boats capsized at one time. Conditions seemed much crazier that the wind strength indicated... No races after lunch due to the impending orange/red blob on rader.

A huge front moved through about 5pm, bringing huge wind and some rain. It delayed the Luau an hour or so, but didn't dampen a great party.
Good thing most of the boats were tied down... The storm gave way to a great Saginaw Bay Sunset.

Lots of boats have arrived for NAs, with more expected tomorrow. There is still time to make it to Michigan for a great 4 days of racing.
