The current weekend is fine.
This year was an unusually slow year even by RTI standards. There have been years where everyone has finished within 8 - 12 hours. There have also been years where they have kept everyone inside because of conditions on the outside.
RTI has always been a light air affair, and I'm no fan of light air sailing especially when I'm into my fourth hour of paddling just to get to the beach at 2:30 AM. But, the RTI is what it is. As with any race you roll the dice and you take your chances, this year we got snake eyes.
Eventhough I told myself never again with every stroke of the paddle I'll probably be back, but I won't be on an 18 foot boat!
