JW helped formalize this event almost 10 years back with the event appropriately named White or Wheat (Subway sponsorship), and we're moving it from Navarre Beach (home of the Charlie Harp v. Jet Ski showdown a couple years ago) to the festive locale of Key Sailing.

Date has been moved back one weekend to June 13/14. Summer heat starting to set in and the water is not too hot just yet, so sea breezes are upon us. Sounds like Kirk has a great time planned when we get off the water with Hemmingway’s serving ribs and their band cranking out some island tunes. Saturday will be bouy racing as long as we can, and Sunday will be a distance race down the Sound with our destination based on the winds (to Juana’s for a cold drink and back if we can).

Please let me know if I can help with crew/skipper arrangements. Our theory is get your boat/butt out there and we’ll make sure everyone has a ride.
