Team Seacats

Winds are supposed to be a steady 15 knots from the NE all the way up, but there is a gale warning that should crank things up to twenty should any  or all of the teams choose to go out that far. At last check, the wind is also out of the NE so we may see some tacking during the last bit of the leg today.

At the skipper’s meeting today it was announced that Team Tybee would be taking a twenty minute hit for failing to round that buoy at Cape Canaveral. It’s a tough break for them but Oolaalaa may have already been in an unstoppable first place with a hour’s lead over them before the penalty.

Then again, this longest leg of the Tybee 500 has historically been the one where anything can change. The sailors are pumped to go today but I think some of them are also about ready for this race to be over. I hope it’s a great day of sailing for everyone.

Go Seacats!
