So they can just start around, say, noon-ish? And fly by you somewhere mid-course?


I would rather get it over with quickly / early in the day...like ripping off a bandaid. I discussed this with our ground crew last week and they pointed out that it's sometimes really tough for them to get to the next checkpoint before we do (in our "normal" boats) after checking out of the hotel and getting through traffic (I think that was the year of the brush fires too, though). The foilers might need two ground crew units and two dollies!


Speaking as both a past competitor and ground crew, sometimes getting to the destination before the boats can be challenging. Especially if the parking is far from the beach.
