What happened to Sea Witch? Looks like she started the race, made it outside the Skyway, maybe 5 miles off Anne Maria, then turned around and docked in St Pete Beach area?
Must have had major problems?

Anyone know about there condition?

See Ya.............Phil

Phil, Sea Witch reported a non-emergency with some water intrusion coming in. Thought it best to return to the dock. Thanks for Asking about them!

Thanks for the update on Sea Witch Larry.

Come to think of it, how come you aren't out racing this year Larry, you could have at least stopped in Longboat Key for lunch when no one was looking, lol. :wink:

Looks like Another road is taking another road, he is on a flyer to the north, most outside boat :?:

They all appear to have decent wind right now, 3:39pm, most appear to be hugging the rum line.

Mischief appears to be the most southern boat from the rum line and have a very interesting track, either bad stering, lol, or many wind shifts, they appear to be heading back to the rum line, at least it appears they are trying to find the best forward movement.
Unfortunately there are no lines drawn on the water showing where the currents are and everyone has there opinion on which way is best, which leads to continual indecision and arguing.

Looks like Nobility had the same earlier wind shift, but took a better course and they both tacked away from each other, giving Nobility a better track and boat speed.

Then you have Fox, Andeline, Anthie and Robin Lee, who decided to hold there course without as much doglegs and they ended up loosing on the above boats, interesting. :oops:

It appears that all or most of the boats haven't reported in during the last 2 hours or more :?: "Reading is over 2 hrs from the map clock"
Not sure what clock they are on, it is 4:06pm here and the boats are showing updates around 1500 - 1515 = 3:00pm? less than 2 hrs as stated :?:

Seeing East breeze on most boat info blocks, not sure if real time :?:

Well, better do something other than watch this boat race, too pretty outside.

See Ya.........Phil
