Team Seacats

Nothing yet to report yet today, but I wanted to mention a few things. First, we really appreciated seeing our good friend Brian Karr last night here at the Cocoa Beach finish. He has put together a video of yesterday evening’s events. He also has an incredible video available of last year’s Tybee500 for sale. Check out all of his work at Adventure Online and the link to yesterday’s video plus some other great catamaran footage can be found on this page: Adventure Sailing Catamaran Videos The second item on the agenda this morning is that I’m finally getting around to posting the individual and combined weights of the teams at the bottom of the page with the team information, courtesy of Lisa Herendeen with Team Space Coast. Some people like to know this kind of stuff. I’m one of them; but alas, alack, I wasn’t writing it down during the weigh-in. Third, and lastly, for those of you who want to be ultimately, intimately, in tha know, I’m going to post the GPS coordinates for the clearance course for Cape Canaveral below, too. It may come in handy when you’re sailing around here someday, who knows?

After the skipper’s meeting, Mike Krantz pointed out the one of the first buoys cuts a corner into the restricted area and JC of Team Tybee generously offered to follow them through there on the start today. I’ve always said what a sportsmanlike and kind man he is! Chuck said that it would be fine if the fleet does indeed have to cut that one particular corner as NASA is aware of our presence. There is also a dredge with a pipe offshore, marked by a yellow buoy, of which the sailors were made aware. That’s all for now from this, as yet, un-caffeinated woman.
