So here it is the last day of the Tybee. This is the longest leg of the race.

Racers have to deal with 1000's of stingrays that lurk about a foot beneath the surface of the water. I must have seen over a 1000 on my trip to Tybee last year. They also have to judge big trowlers to keep clear of their nets. At times it seems the trowlers turn toward you just to cause you trouble.

Good Luck to the Fleet,

With so many rays so close below the surface, do you pull the boards or try to navigate between them?


We didn't see one ray this year - I was there last year as well and did see tons of them...most of them on the last leg to Tybee. However, we were moving a little fast this year on the way to Tybee to notice much! We had a rudder pop up about 8 or 9 times on the last leg but I'm not sure if it was jelly balls or rays.
