P Mumm is calling me to relay information from one of the mark boats. He just ringed me and said that they're a go - and that they're leaving now to go setup the marks. He said that it will take "a while" for the teams to sail from the Sailing Center to the Gulf.

Maybe you can use a twitter account for updates?
That would be great.

Can't put enough information in a twitter post.

I'm not on the course, I'm sitting here in my home office.

I basically told Philip that - since the names and numbers of the boats are going to change with each fleet changeup - just to get me the names of the top 5 finishers of every race AT THE VERY LEAST.

More information of course, would be more than welcome.

Wish I could promise more - but again, not being there...

About to start... Wind has backed down to 10.5 knots

BUT Waves 4 to 5 feet height - tight sets. Gets worse away from shore. Wind blowing 075 at A mark, 035 at committee so big shift on course.

You can follow realtime weather from the station on the end of Pier 60 in Clearwater, the only local station on the Gulf side. It's less than a mile from the course (depending on where they set the marks). Some sensors may be damaged after yesterday's big blow. Look at that water temp drop!

Clearwater Pier weather station

Livingston was the second place

Wind has died again to 7.5 to 8 knots and the waves are calming down too. Boats are on the beach swapping boats.

Philip has switched from the A mark boat to the safety boat so we might get some more info,
