2nd and 3rd

Velocity in 2nd just a few min ago. Marley’s Yellow and then Orange. Just heard from Chaos and they’ve lost their mast about 11 miles out…they want to try and rig something up with the spin pole and the jib to get them home. I was asking them if they wanted time or a tow…they lost cell phone reception before they could answer me…we’re going to give them 10 minutes or so to rig something up before we try to call them again.
Blue Spinnaker

A blue spinnaker is visible on the horizon – it’s either Cat Fever or Velocity.
Tybee wins!

Team Tybee just finished and wins the Tybee 500! We’ve got a light drizzle here with heavy overcast skies. No other boats in sight.
On the beach

We’re on the beach waiting … we’re tentatively expecting the leaders shortly after 4pm. The weather cleared up a bit and it looks like the heavy weather is not moving as fast as predicted. They’ve got a good chance getting here before it gets bad.
