| 2pm racing 10miles up the mcloed and 3pm 10miles back.....then that's it. Some guys have a 8sec gap and want another chance to make the time up! |

Thanks. Man that is disappointing for race fans but I'm sure the racers are even more Pizzed at Moma Nature.

we were splitting the islands about 10-15miles south of the blue ridge bridge just coming into a 30ft wide shoot skipped the first little pressure wave and the motor gurgled and quite which put its nose into the next one that pitched us into a straight face bank to our right, the nose ran up and the water came over the back, with the pouring rain coming down on us it was losining up the bank 25ft directly abouve us as the face was composed of mainly silt and sand and peices were coming down on us so we quikley threw out the floater and then abandoned the boat.scary moments i tell you and will be forever in debt to pepe and the boys in that blue sport that came to our rescue with the banks trickling down around us. with the straight wall all around us there was no place to tie it off so just praying that its still above water but with the high water and road closures because of it the chances of it still being there are fading as the hrs go by

Holy crap man, sorry to hear this. Sounds like Mom Nature is going to continue to give us some grief for a while. Hope you find her.

The itinerary says drinks at 6:00 and supper at 7:00. So Im guessing we will have to wait a bit yet. |

The simple answer is no.....500 is a hoped for target, not a requirement.
