This is a very interesting thread, However way off topic.

Let's redirect this thread back to Chesapeake Bay sailing...

I would like to put some props out for an event next weekend in Virginia Beach... Sail the Bay Regatta. Hobie Fleet 32 always puts on a great event, great party and great sailing in the Chesapeake. This is always on my schedule. It conflicts with the Tybee, but if you are not involved with the Tybee... This one is worth the trip.
