Those captians were catching it tonight in that weather. I was sitting in P.C. watching lighting show and they were having to run in that weather.

Good stuff. I have heard of this. Looks like I will be watching it live this time.

Looks like Key West CC found a shortcut.

I have not read any posts

We are leaving Steinhatchee

Broken items
~Silly sound bar
~VHF antenna
~Garmin monitors (fixed)
~FLIR
~Rigid lightbar (fuse)
~USB charger
~Yamaha gauge backlights
~Mast light

That all shook loose in Port Washington , hence our lengthy stop

We thought we'd try to make up time hitting open water. The waves and wind were so fierce, I feared for my life, so we backtracked. Whoops

I've been driving nonstop since 6pm. The crossing from Apalachicola to Steinhatchee was 3-4 footers, and took 5 hours. Despite this, I almost fell asleep at the wheel. Turns out, the Skiff Challenge is challenging

Looks like Yellowfin is way out front. I guess they are tracking some kind of chase vehicles too as it appears they are following a land based path.

Yes there's 2 support teams for each boat, I believe the yellowfin took all of their electronics off the boat since it was going to be so rough.
