[bobw]

No fiasco thread? What a fiasco! Let's start one. clockwise? counter? every-which-way?

Early forecasts are light to moderate, and sprinkly. If it stays like this I'mma take my kite with me.

Looking dry for Saturday. Late starters going to have more pressure at start.

2.4 knot ebb at 08.21

Hows your ground tackle skillz?

Coupled with a low single digit wind forecast, that 2.4 ebb makes Blackaller an easy first mark! Typical recent 3-Bridge start! What happened to El Nino's promise?

I find that the weather models have a difficult time resolving pressure gradients in between some systems.

However the late starters appear to be set up for the better roll of the dice.

367 entries--a new record. Wheee!

[BobJ]

368 in 2011. (Sorry, it's that bean counter thing.)

[IOR Geezer]

Damn facts always get in the way of a good story.

Still, impressive numbers!

[bobw]

I stand corrected. Still lotsa boats.
