This edition of the Cabo Race has certainly been a roller coaster of conditions! Light breeze early on caused two boats to retire. However, it is definitely picking up; as we’ve seen boats log speeds up in the mid-teens, then screech to a near-halt a few hours later. Spirits are high within the fleet, two boats even reported seeing green flashes at sunset on March 17th. A festive way to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day!
Meanwhile, the Race Committee is on station in Cabo San Lucas and we can definitely report that warm weather, clear water, & cold cervezas await the competitors! It is definitely shaping up to be an interesting race, as the first boats are closing in on 200nm to the finish.
Great job setting up the finish…..
Break…Break…..watch out for “Spring Breakers”, especially by the Hospitality Bar…
