What do you think about Sunday at this point? If it continues to look good where and at what time should folks show up?

let't check the 4:30 update. it does look like sunday would be best. at worst case, i might do a jupiter to mia for fun.

The north and south forecast sectors look to be the same with the 4:30 pm update from NWS:

SUNDAY
EAST WINDS 15 TO 20 KNOTS. SEAS 4 TO 6 FEET BUILDING TO
5 TO 7 FEET IN THE AFTERNOON. INTRACOASTAL WATERS CHOPPY IN EXPOSED
AREAS. CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND SLIGHT CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS.

Of course the forecast and reality for that matter could change. Still, what do you think? A run from Jupiter to Miami could be a lot of fun, particularly if I can work out the driving.

ok, ok, ok,... here you go... if the wind is really from the east, we do a 2 stage race.

Stage 1: Crandon to Ft. Lauderdale: if we are good Neil will buy us a beer.
Stage 2: Ft. Lauderdale to Crandon: if we are good Neil will buy us a beer...

this would fix the car issue and a down wind race really isn't possible out of the east anyway. it will be tight on the way up, but very fast on the way back...

come on..

Kent

Sounds like fun and it's about 30 miles each way, correct? Should be nice with an easterly wind. I'm in, how about others? Hope the forecast holds or builds for Sunday.

For sure,I will get a crew together also. I am also in. Neil

What time at Crandon?

how about 10 at crandon

Kent

Winds are predicted NE which could make getting from crandon to ft. lauderdale pretty tough. I guess we can just see how it is tommorrow morning but if the direction is NE 89th to matheson via crandon and stiltsville sounds like a nice ride. Matt.

how about Tiki Beach to Crandon, start time at 1pm. To give people time to sort out cars. Neil
