If it's blowing 18-20 why are they only going 7 knots? Would think they could be going 12-14 unless we go slower than I thought we did. Looks like the first leg of the last Tybee... I think we hit the beach at 7:30... miserable way to start! Even Mischa said he would be okay if it was over after that first day.
Todd, looking at the weather report, the big wind isn't supposed to hit until 3pm (still a bit away). At Key Biscayne right now I'm showing 6knots from the NNE.
I've been getting really strange "data" from Molasses reef this morning too. I would see 6 and then jump into the historical chart and see it at 18 (sustained to current). Didn't have much time to dig into it deeper. Clearly, it's not that windy out there right now.
They've probably got another four hours to go. I remember that last Tybee 1st leg - I didn't wear enough gear and got hypothermic on that long upwind slog.
From what I tell the front runners should be finishing within half that time. Remember they don't have to go past all of Miami this time
