Still healthy wind at 16-18 from 100, expected to build today to 18-20 with some meaty gusts. Surf's chopped up pretty well, but with the breeze out of 100 a starboard start shouldn't be too much for this fleet to manage. Watch that sandbar on the way out, though - it's a board-eater.

Headings of almost due north (8-358) for first 50 miles to West Palm, then bearing off to around 340 by the finish. Wind expected to be 112-115 by that point, so we'll see some spinnakers pictures later today.

Jensen, where many teams left parts a couple of years ago, has had fresh onshore breeze for a week now, and the tide's going out for the finish today between 3 and 4 PM or so. Hope everyone gets in through the surf OK - tomorrow will take care of itself until they get there!

20 minutes to the start!



Smile, Jake! It's still better than being at work!
