BETTI is the first and only entrant from the Winthrop Harbor Yacht Club at the Northpoint Marina. There are a few of us out here watching as you make your way to the Island. May the winds be with you!

What happened to Betti? I see from the race stats that they have withdrawn. Is everyone OK?

They decided to withdraw late last night. They bobbed around for 16 hours near Racine and calculated they would not make it to the island by Tuesday afternoon. They are still on thier way though for the festivities.
