Kirk and Tom have to stay in shape so I am not surprised they are sailing. The truth is that an ARC 22 might be among the leaders, right Mike?

Let us not forget Billy Whitehurst on his Hobie 17 with running backs and assorted headsails. If he sails, he is my Portsmouth hero.

Now let's consider the weather for the race ,,, easterlies are in order for the weekend. I hope they shoot the reversed course and put you guys in the narrows to P Bay, then out to sea for the leg back to FWYC. 12 - 14 knots true might make for a tough beat up the narrows. Either way - the race this year will feature a beat and a run with minimum reaching.

Looking forward to seeing everyone that rigs tomorrow.
