All in all, one of the more "interesting" and challenging days on the water that I can recall.
To the skippers/crews/boats who:
- Came out to "give it a go"......Thank you
- Finished the race....you earned your Salty Dog badge
To the Far Reach folks (Mark, Chris, etc.)....very glad you all are okay. You'll have to tell your story....amazing.
Many Thanks to the competitors and volunteers.....quite a day!

I'm not sure that I have ever seen the Bay in such a short-cycled choppy state...hats off to those of you that finished the race...and hats off to the 33 of 44 boats that chose to stop the punishment...it's no fun when it's no fun...
A question for participants.
I don't have a wind gauge so I was wondering what other boats recorded.
Thanks
We saw 31kn max. Of course, when the boat heels 'significantly', the readings aren't that reliable. It sure felt like more than 31......
Special thanks! to the race committee and everybody on board the various support boats! It sure didn't look like picnic time on those boats, either.
We saw several loops of what looked like a huge cable over in Trinity Bay. Did anybody else see them and does anywone know what that was??
We had several 10kt+ surfs enroute to the starting area, and decided, after a few minutes, that even a small headsail just wasn't all that necessary to sail any direction in particular. And a few minutes after that, heading anywhere other than back to the dock began to seem rather un-necessary too. The chop wasn't quite as bad over by TCYC, but it still took another hour of slogging to get back under the bridge.
Hats off to the stout-fellas who stayed out and finished.

I never checked max wind speed but the High Wind Alarm went of several times Saturday. It is set to go off at winds exceeding 35 Knots True.
Pretty wet, windy and cold day out there Saturday. -good practice for when you get stuck in that snot by accident.
This is what Morgan's Point showed from around noon to 1400 Saturday:

we saw the loops of pipe. Damn scary buzzing along at high rate of speed and see those things. We were close enough to see two sets . Looked more like loops of about 3 inch pipe more than cables. Criminal for companies to leave that stuff. These were west of the rhumb line from the last rounding mark (I believe it was D mark, but I would have to look at the Race instructions again) before clawing back toward the 3/4 south boater cut gate. Really caused pucker factor !
It's for certain 4 inch pipe, looping everywhere, like sailing into a mine field.
SE of the cut when returning from Trinity.
Probably will not venture into those waters again unless making a direct 'B' line to Oak Island for beer and lunch!
Al, Sam, Chris - I know we spoke briefly at the party, however perhaps we can get together in the next week or so with a chart so I can nail down the specific area(s?) were the pipes and cables were seen? While I like the concept of a triangle course in Trinity Bay, I am concerned with the reports.....your assistence would be greatly appreciated!
- Dwight
Dwight, check with Ash Walker too. He saw them as well.
What ever happened to the Google Earth map that marked many of the known hazards? I don't think I have seen it on the new website, it would be good to get an idea of just where all of this stuff is.
Still here
