haven't heard a word about it... we (tampabay sailing club) had a breakfast on Jan 1 (since the race was canceled) and it didn't come up at all in conversation


Not true! We talked about it but when you don't show up until 10:30 for an 11:00 start you miss the good gossip. Plus you missed the hard downpour at 8:30. grin

Doug with the Nacra 5.7 knows the who and where of the abandoned boat on the southeast Howard Franklin. Apparently it was semi-turtled with it's mast in the mud. Some people launch from Picnic Island near MacDill AFB but that's south of the Gandy bridge and I don't think you can't get north to the HF bridge. It would be a narrow sailing box between the two bridges. Mysterious......

Doug, you out there?
