.8 mile course, 065 wind direction, A mark about 4/10ths of a mile from the jetty, right on the channel line apparently.
two boats recalled at the start - only one cleared.
Burd/Easton retired from race - headed to beach. Reason unknown.

I quickly put together a rough google earth sketch of the course layout from Philip's description just so viewers at home can get a feel for the terrain. You can also see the sail required to get out to the Gulf from the beach.

are they all rafting up at that bar before the bridge to switch from A to B fleets? That would be convenient.

I think the boat exchange is on the Gulf beach at Sand Key Park.

i had heard the Sheridan Hotel at Sand Key was allowing them some beach access... this is not verified but the source was pretty good.

Last time the event was there we used the Sherton Beach for change overs, but sailed the boats back to the Clearwater Sailing Center each evening.

A couple of times at or slightly after dusk!!!

Bonnie waves a big foam finger in the air for Jake and Tom then retires to the bleachers.

Thanks for all the updates!

About to start next race. Wind at A mark oscillating between 050 and 065. Wind at committee holding at 090.

Apparently Tomko put a real hurt on the fleet after he got pushed to Silver.
