(Travis) Finishing Process...

Each boat must call the race committee when they are 100, 25 and 5 miles from finishing.
They have to post "ETA" in each case... some boats spend a lot of time on guessing others do not... so ETA is a pretty bad guess until you're in the 25 ->5 mile range...

I've posted a new link with the checkin data at right. Remember that these times are uncorrected for rating.

We anxiously await the postings for today!
but...
Tiki Blue Gave their 100 mile check in at 01:58 this morning
Bequia Gave their 100 mile check in at 06:45 this morning
The rating difference is between is 4:36. Remembering that the standings are more accurate and that the finishing weather is EXTREMELY local (no map we have will help) and time of day dependent (not favoring our guys)... it would suggest that they are a mear 11min. behind Tiki Blue!

One more thing.... The number of racers that have lost significant time near the finish because of navigation issues and wind management issues is HUGE. The finish is hard to find, intimidating, and tricky... It really is "Down to the wire"...

(That should build some drama! )
