The boat is on the beach and all set up (along with everybody else). Big on-shore wind. Just chilling in the hotel room after a big dinner. Tomorrow we all launch at 7:00 AM. About the only thing yet go decide is whether to put on a dry suite or not for the start.

Good luck. Keep the reports coming.

Even though the race is effectively off me me I'm still at least launching off the beach to film a lite of the conditions. I'll then just come back in. I'll have that film up in a couple of days.

Float plan change:
I've decided to do a shorter trip with a few others that will leave Cedar Island at 9:00 AM Saturday morning and travel to Beaufort in the reverse NCC direction down Core Sound and past Harker Island. We will finish in Beaufort sometime Saturday afternoon or evening.Anybody is welcome to join us for this shorter "fun sail/paddle" with the wind at our back.

Had a great downwind sail/paddle along with KiwiBird, Rambler and SandyBottom today doing the (easy) half of the NCC with the wind. We each had fun surfing down waves and burying bows. We made the Cedar Island - Beaufort trip in about 6 hours. Not a bad way to spend 6 hours.
I know a few others got out there and found places to get some good paddling in as well.
I took some (hopelly) good video of KiwiBird, Rambler and SandyBottom in action and I will post them in a couple of days. With the Go-pro, you never know what you got untill you get back to your computer and give it a look.

I will have a few videos related to the cancelled NCC/NCPC.
The first one I have ready shows the conditions on the launch beach at Cedar Island. In this video, I paddled my Triak just out to the end of the jetty and back to the beach.

Getting off the beach was no easy task.

I just posted my (Saturday, Sep 28th) Cedar Island to Beaufort via Core Sound video that myself, Rambler, KiwiBird, and SandyBottom ventured out together on. A couple of others did the same trip as well a bit later in the day.
It only took 6 hours but it was a fun 6 hours.
