The race is this Sunday, 12/08/13. The wind has been blowing early so the skipper’s meeting will be at 8:30 a.m. on Sunday at the shore in front of the launch area, about 100 yards north of the parking lot. There will be some time to finish rigging after the skipper’s meeting with a target race start at 9:30 a.m.

Sunday is being picked because of the continual downgrading today of conditions for Saturday and Sunday with Sunday being the preferred forecast both for direction and strength.

Checking the conditions late today the surf was small even after a windy morning.

I’ve been collecting the prizes for the event, and we have another great year for contestants. Adventure Sports Fort Lauderdale, (address below), asked if they could host the after race party, buy us beer and pizza, and that seemed like a no-brainer, so the results, awards, prize giving and party will be there. Another bonus is they are not far from the event site.
