Five boats dropped out Saturday for various reasons, one boat did not start today (Sunday), one boat came back right after today's start with a broken rudder. And one boat was very late starting today because the sailors were stopped by the gendarmes and given tickets for various offenses on the way to the beach.

Rick will be posting results either tonight or tomorrow and a story tomorrow.

One interesting note is that Eric Arbogast on his new ARC 21 dismasted shortly before the first-day finish. Because it was an offshore wind, he was drifting out to sea. He was about six miles offshore when he called me on his cell phone and gave me his coordinates. I called Boat U.S. Towing, and they retrieved him with no problems. I'm sure he will have a story for us about his latest misadventure.
