Is to begin in 90 minutes. As I was leaving for work at 8 am, I saw a few sailors speeding into the marina and running to their boat. I guess they overslept. Good thing they didn't forget the beer (I saw one carrying a case of Bud if you call that beer) because the winds are going to be aft and below 10 knots true decreasing as the day turns into night. It's going to be a putt putt race with not much wave action as they are sailing near the lee shore. Many stories will be told during this race as the sailors will be bored. Many will argue on the course they should take and the GPSs will be hard at work calculating the VMG. I can envision lots of boats sailing neck and neck the first half of the course and lots of beer drank and lots of words yelled at competitor boats. In a way, this would be an interesting race to be a part of just to see how it panned out. How many would just sit back and relax in the mellow winds and sunshine and how many would be actively working hard to gain a few seconds on the next guy. If only they had a webcam for us who couldn't get away from work to watch.
