Hi Mary,
We do plan to race to Marathon on Saturday and return on Sunday as of this writing, but as stated, we will adjust everything based upon winds. Our Islander Triangle race drew very favorable comments of the sail up the REEF, so we will attempt to have a spinnaker run down or up the Reef, dependent upon winds. Transportation will be a planning issue. If need be, I will make runs back and forth to get everyone in place for the events. Awards will be made after racing regardless of which day. In addition, we will consider a longer first day using reef marks with great winds, Flexibility is the guiding word. Either way we will have food prepared on the barby at Marathon in the park. It is possible with horrendous winds we will drop back into Hawks Channel for safety reasons. Have considered the possibility of continuing the day after M-KL, but have found no good overnight stay, bayside. Discussed this format with several at the Tradewinds and this seems to please most sailors. wgg
