Make your reservations and get your costume ready for a fun weekend of sailing and partying at Captain Hiram's. If you don't want to wear a costume, there is plenty of eye candy to look at. Even if you don't want to sail, the party at Captain Hiram's is worth it.

Hiram's Haul is a 30 mile catamaran sprint down the Intercoastal waterway to the quaint, old Florida town of Sebastian and Capt. Hiram's for the first party. Spend the night and enjoy Capt. Hirams or any of the other cozy watering holes. Return the next day with another 30 mile sprint to Performance Sail and Sport for the 2nd leg and overall trophy presentation and party.

The logistics are easy. The race starts and finishes in the same place so all you need to do is pack a bag for Saturday night and throw it on one of the trailers heading to Captain Hiram's. Shuttle is provided to and from the midway point to Captain Hiram's.

If you are racing, please register so Scott and Dior knows how many are attending.

Forecast is looking sporty! "Breezy" is mentioned in several of the ones I'm reading :P

Sunday looks to be upwind.

And they just told me I'm 6 days a week and on call for second shift until 11/13! The downside of surviving a layoff...thank you sir.

Wouldn't you know it, the first time in years the forecast looks promising.

Karl, bring the GD GPS this time! That M-20 doesn't like "sporty".

NE 20+ sounds like you'll be testing the bow bouyancy a bit

I don't know about promising but it could be interesting.

Saturday: Scattered showers. Partly sunny, with a high near 81. Windy, with a north northeast wind between 15 and 20 mph, with gusts as high as 30 mph. Chance of precipitation is 30%.

Sunday: A 20 percent chance of showers. Mostly sunny, with a high near 80. Windy, with a northeast wind around 20 mph, with gusts as high as 30 mph

Dude, it will be flat water. You can be freaking superman if the water is flat. You just don't want to find the bottom at 22kts +, it would most certianly leave a mark.

wind map shows promising news:

Saturday starts out NNW around 12 kts, and will continue to clock eastward all day. Noon (1600 GMT)NNW wind 15kts+ gusts straight down the pipe

Sunday shows stronger breeze around 15 - 18kts from ENE, which will be a beam reach if this map is right. Wind shows almost perpendicular to shore.

That sure beats all day on the nose!

Me thinks someone might break the course record this weekend....

Of course, the other wind forecast map shows the tropical storm going right over my house Saturday so this might be a busy weekend....

Ehhh accuweather is saying that on Saturday its going to be gusting to 36 and on Sunday to 35. If its doin that crap I may have to sit it out. I want to have fun, not kill myself.

The forecasts elsewhere are more moderate so I have faith.

Yes, I'm going as a photographer for Maxim magazine with the ID to prove it. I worked a deal to get the weekend off so I'm basically F!@ked for the two weeks after Hirams so it better not get moved!

The tree Craig, that's what you remember? Really? You'll want to check your man card at the door this year.

BTW, it was 2 years ago.

good to see the models are starting to reach consensus.

Remember, those are near-coastal wind forecasts. Cut about 5 off since we're in the intracoastal.

Flat water, high teens, spin run and beam reaching. Git er done!

I don't have a man card but might sneak in to the party. Is there a theme besides "full monty"?

I know that I'm wearing my Barz regardless of the sea state.

The wife and kids are coming this weekend. I am just getting my story straight ahead of time. Good thing she doesn't read any forums.
