Sounds like a great event.
Timbo and I were just north of ya'll in Sarasota and conditions were similar, except we got a really sweet seabreeze on Sunday around noon which pushed a solid 10-12 knots out of the S/SSE
There was a gi-frikkin-normous cat on the course (called Contraption with a PHRF of -128) eating boats alive in the lighter stuff which was really cool to watch... until it sucked all the wind out of our sails

I think their mast dinged a few jets flying overhead it was so tall...
