I shot this video from El Jardin as the boats came around the low range mark.  This was the 8-23-14 race.

Speed is 4x.

Anybody know if Kirby's diving service is still around?  I had a quarterly cleaning with him but he seems to have disappeared...

This year?s Shoe Regatta has a class called Classic Canvas.  Some of you may be curious as to what that is.  Basically, the only difference between the cruising non-spinnaker distance class and the classic canvas is that only boats with Dacron sails can enter the Classic Canvas class.  Because PHRF doesn?t correct for types of sails (Dacron vs. Mylar, etc.), creating a Classic Canvas fleet levels the playing field for us non-high performance racers.  So, calling all rag heads.  Let?s play!       

Don't know if anyone has already accounted for this but I was out today and happened upon a big plank, at least a 2x12, sticking about 2 feet out of the water at a 45 degree angle.  It wasn't moving and looks like it's been there awhile.  Coordinates are:

29 degrees 34.66 min. N
94 degrees 58.66 min. W
