NOAA forecast for the practice race:
Saturday
Northwest winds 15 to 20 knots. Seas 4 to 6 feet. Bay and inland waters a moderate chop. Slight chance of thunderstorms in the morning.
That is a long freaking way out. Yes we are supposed to get a cold front and hopefully it will punch through and give us our dream breeze, but...
At 15-20 the gulf get's sporty.
