I remember everybody getting all excited when they moved it to June, stating the more favorable sea breeze, and boy did the first year deliver. First boat (I think it was Brian on the CFR) came in around 1 pm. I finished around 5:40 on a non spin boat.

On the other hand, the RTI 2010 (renamed Round The Bay) was raced inside the bay due to the oil spill and absolutely sucked and was unbearable hot.

I'm guessing the perception of a bigger turnout moving it back to September is due to scheduling conflicts in June? Are there other reasons to have it in September?
