Rick,



I can appreciate what you're going through. As one who relies on technology for my work, I've come to expect that the most likely time for a failure to occur is when you need the technology the most. How often have I sat down to make a quick print before going into a meeting, only to have the printer jam or run out of paper/toner/ink! Not to mention the times I need to get a critical email off to a list of folks and my ISP chokes, etc., etc. (Don't even get me started on the simple task of transferring a phone call.)



Experience has also taught me to treat my GPS as merely an entertaining backup to charts, a compass, and a watch. Seems that there are a number of GPS boat tracking systems that have failed to work under the conditions.



Anyway, I just wanted to let those on the front lines of the race know that I appreciate any information you can get to us.



P.S. My in-laws live in Stuart and I called them last night asked them to drive over to the beach and take a few photos for me. I hope they enjoy their introduction to the sport.
