   Just to clarify, is it mandatory we hold position or can we continue down the calm waters of the intercoAstal.

   I don't believe the USCG has the authority to stop the fleet. They can stop individual voyages that are manifestly unsafe. This is overreaching.

   The race organizers can comply with a request to suspend and that's a different thing, but a "mandatory" stop for the fleet would need authority and they don't have it.

   I'm ashore now, but are they saying I can't take my little tin powerboat back out today?

   I mean, I'm operating as Speck Tater of the Tribe, not as Tom Ray. (rolls eyes)

   Now it looks like they are calling it off entirely:

   So if we choose to continue on our own outside of the "regatta", does this violate the USCG orders?
