Well, that tropical storm prediction is back now but saying it will go in the same direction as Paula.  What I don't like about the models now is it's calling for heavy rain Wednesday night, all day Thursday and Friday.

No.  Some years a northern front blows in during the race.  We usually do get a cold front in October about a week before halloween so when the race is held has a lot to do with it.  The good news is the models have change and are now calling for a little breeze and no storm.  I guess I should have waited a few days before posting 

hmmmm....models are different now...no more bad weather

Has anybody looked at the weather models for the weekend of the HMR?  I looked at the GFS model on weather underground and noticed they are predicting not only rough weather on the Texas coast, but also what looks like a hurricane just south of Cuba headed this way.  I know it's still very early for models to be accurate, but they usually are right about the development of storms well in advance.  The way I figure it, we've been having too nice of weather lately for it to continue   and here I was hoping for a gentle breeze while I sit on the high side drinking a beer, soaking up the sun and watching all the beautiful sailboats as they pass us .  I guess I'll have to setting for hanging on for dear life trying to keep my food down, skin dry and warm while sipping hot tea.  Maybe I can put some rum in that tea.
