   What is going on with the Escape?  Seems to be headed sligtly the wrong way and just hanging off the start area? Bad SPOT or having serious trouble?

   The water is a low as I remember seeing it. Usually the water level there is mostly wind driven so you'd expect to see low water when the wind is strong out of the southwest, but it's odd when there is almost no wind.

   Once I get back to a reliable Internet connection I'll have pictures of Ghostyaker, Busted Rudder and Salty Frog in the Newport River and Stripbuilder leaving Harlowe Creek. Definitely a bit more wind now than earlier today.

    Why isn't there a section for videos for this race like their was last year?  Am I looking in the wrong place?

    ZeroTheHero was wounding what happed to Gottaescape:  I could not get the centerboard down and could not make upwind progress.  (Packed with sand.)  Four hours later I got it down but the light winds died.  I didn't row because I couldn't make it to WP1.  So I just played is safe and hung around Cedar Island.    and and.I got some wind once in a while and had good tests runs with the wake from the ferry.  The boat just cuts through a wave with no up and down motion.  Next year I'll have more sail area and less weight.   I still had a great time meeting WaterTribe people.

    GottaEscape, I assume it is you that I got some good footage of dragging your Escape to the water in my launch video.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=riVVLxtcCRI
