Okay, here's the story so far.
18 boats registered. 10 boats actually started. 9 boats went under Card Sound Bridge.
Here is the order going under Card Sound Bridge:
1 ARC 22 with Eric Roberts and Dave Weir
2 Nacra 20 Accelerated Chaos with Chris & Nate Titcomb
3 F-18 Capricorn with Olli Jason and Patrick Gilles
4 F-18 Nacra with Mike Krantz and Dave Lennard
5 Nacra 20 Team Tybee with John Casey and Kenny Pierce
6 Nacra 20 with Jake Kohl and Frank Moore
7 Hobie 16 with Michael Siau and Lindsay Young
8 Nacra 20 (not sure who)
9 Nacra 20 Cat in the Hat with Larry Ferber and Dale Larkin
The race got started almost an hour late because there was a tremendous wind-driven current going under the Jewfish Creek Bridge against the boats. It took 10 minutes for them to (almost) all get under, with lots of honking from the backed up car traffic, because the bridge normally has a five-minute maximum limit on opening.
Two boats were not able to make it through the bridge before it closed, so Rick White and Chip Short, on the "committee boat", took them under tow and were going to wait until the bridge could open again.
Unfortunately and ironically, right after the bridge closed, there was a car accident right in the middle of the bridge, so they had to wait until the cars could be pushed or towed off the bridge.
By the time they were finally able to get through the bridge and get to the starting line, it turned out they were not really late, because boats were still tacking up Jewfish Creek in the current.
Meanwhile, I had called the Coast Guard earlier to alert them about the race, and the officer on duty said, "Can't you do this race some other day?"
