Posts: 3,906 Clermont, FL, USA | What!? The start is uninteresting!!!? What does it take to get your attention Maugan?
The news is up on the front page and it looks like one team is out, or in the process of replacing crew already!
Also knowing who has taken an early lead only leaves you wanting more!
Now if Rick follows up with the details about Team Weathermark then we are on our way!

Damn the luck! I know they were both extremely well prepared and have been sailing exceptionally fast!

I noticed that the one link was to last year's race, so Rick fixed that after he got back to our house from the start. Other than what Rick has already posted about the start, both text and pictures, I don't have anything yet to put on the Hotline. I'm just hoping that Rick gets to the finish line before the boats do -- the boats don't have to contend with traffic and tolls and parking problems. And the boats are going really fast! Maybe UPS and FedEx should consider delivering by boat -- works for the drug-runners. I'll be putting stuff on my "Beach Hotline" whenever I get information. | | | Okay John...

And, in most cases, there are few places to see them from shore. We see them when they leave, and we see them when they arrive. The sailors tell what happened in between those two points. | | | I have to keep some secrets...

Posts: 3,906 Clermont, FL, USA | But, to report that team has dropped out without providing any follow up information is frustrating to say the least. Espeically when you know the team is extremely well prepared and were poised to be one of the top teams.
Make no mistake I appreciate the coverage, but sometimes...

Posts: 3,293 Long Beach, California | Mike and Dave are really disappointed, of course. Mike said that he felt there was no chance he could get back on the boat later in the week, and that if he pulled the plug now, he could avoid losing hotel deposits, fuel costs, etc., etc. The Tybee and OBX race management were very understanding and let them off the hook. They're driving north now. Better?

edit - it was Bliss on the yellow boat, not Key in third!
