Looks like a long, slow race today -- winds ranging from 1 to 9 mph out of the southwest (offshore wind and close on the nose). No spinnakers today unless the forecast is totally wrong.

Rick is sailing on a Reynolds 33, and they will probably stay to the right side of the course.

The race starts at 8:00 a.m., and the projected wind looks like maybe 2-3 mph at that time.

I hope the beach cats left Rickenbacker Causeway early, or they will not make it to the starting line in time for the start. Not that it will matter if nobody is going anywhere.
