Does anyone know if there are good options for RV parking daily/overnight? I know there's a motorhome park close to the venue, but we really don't need the amenities offered and might as well get a hotel room for the price.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks for the update.., can't beat that
SE winds at 15 and temps in the upper 70's sounds good to me.
That will give us very flat seas and good winds.

Looks like its varying between 15-22 on Friday. Its definitely moderated though since last night. I think whatever front they are banking on is pushing through faster than they thought it would.

Still gonna be chilly.

Rick, Nothing I'm seeing is saying SE. Its all NE, to N and lower to mid 60's.

Weather forecasts this far out are almost useless. For those that attend this regatta there is no doubt their efforts will be nicely rewarded!

Three days and a wake up and we are out of here!

I was going to skip the pizza and beer, maybe get in a sauna today but after seeing the winds forcast, I think I'll go get another 12 pack of Sams and an extra large pie for the game tonight!

Agreed - to burn an ounce of concern about the wind forecast this far away is pointless. The 24 hour forecast is usually only about 75% correct...it's probably less than 5% correct a week out.

Yeah - but I bailed on it this year. More complicating factors...but I salvaged Tradewinds!

It happens, glad you're able to get down for Tradewinds.
