when you say "outside" route, are you talking the one where you end up going through that west cut to blackwater?

I'd always wonder under what conditions that pays. I suspected a west breeze, but maybe south works too?

I figured Saturday would be work for you guys. It was a little much for me singlehanding with main/jib only. Actually, docking was the only real challenge.

Sunday looked ideal for me, but I could imagine it was a bit more challenging for you guys actually racing to get somewhere...
