Hey Tunas,
I goofed!!! The Island Yacht Club sponsors the Doublehanded
Lightship Race (NOT BAMA!) Their website is <iyc.org> Click on Race
Info.
They have the entry form and disclaimer posted.
The date is still Feb. 24
The usual Start time is around 0920 for us small boats off the GGYC.
The currents are very favorable that day: 0935 Max Ebb (4.0 knots) /
1356 Slack / 1710 Max Flood (2.9 knots) That means we'll be flushed
out, get to the bucket and back about the time it's turning to Flood
-- and it Flood earlier out there.
How about a good Tuna turnout this year? It's about a 22-mile round
trip. Should take a little more than 4 hours, depending on how much
wind there is, especially early on.
