Well I think we have the perfect venue for a speed event here at Texas City - a 5 mile dike perpendicular to the prevailing wind which does not reduce wind speed but completly flattens the water.

A bunch of us have GPS units with water proof bags. All we need now is a stiff southerly breeze - which may be forthcoming in the spring.

If we get anything over 20 knots we'll report back.

Chris.
