Pray for wind

After the coastal cup, this feels like tempting fate, but I’m really hoping for strong winds on this race. One of the competitors just got a tow into the harbor this morning. Reading their posts, they seemed to suffer from light wind all the way to LB from Hawaii…

Although we are officially the smallest boat in this years race, (apparently, it’s us on one end and Pyewacket on the other) there are several boats that are actually lighter–like the Hobie 33 and the Columbia 30. Without some wind, our rating won’t matter, we’ll just get clobbered.

    I’m hoping that by Monday we’ll see a different weather pattern. It looks like the high has moved pretty close to the coast. There’s still 20 knots around the high, but we have to go pretty far south to stay in it.
