Clarissa is a talented rider. Then again, I think she is laboring through the Cabrinha Caribbean Island Tour right now. What length lines do you think she'll need to rig in Antigua or wherever and ride in our event?!


Looks like another old fashioned powerful cold front is on the way.

WATERS FROM JUPITER INLET TO DEERFIELD BEACH, FL EXTENDING FROM 20 NM TO 60 NM-
414 AM EST FRI DEC 8 2006

TODAY
NORTH WINDS 20 TO 25 KNOTS. NEAR SHORE...SEAS 5 TO 7 FEET.
IN THE GULF STREAM...SEAS 8 TO 10 FEET BUILDING TO 11 TO 13 FEET
IN THE AFTERNOON. INTRACOASTAL WATERS CHOPPY. ISOLATED SHOWERS UNTIL LATE AFTERNOON.

TONIGHT
NORTHEAST WINDS 25 TO 30 KNOTS BECOMING 20 TO 25 KNOTS
AFTER MIDNIGHT. SEAS 6 TO 8 FEET NEAR SHORE AND UP TO 13 TO 15 FEET IN THE GULF STREAM. INTRACOASTAL WATERS VERY ROUGH IN EXPOSED AREAS.

SATURDAY
NORTHEAST WINDS 20 TO 25 KNOTS. SEAS 4 TO 6 FEET NEAR
SHORE AND UP TO 9 TO 11 FEET IN THE GULF STREAM. INTRACOASTAL
WATERS ROUGH IN EXPOSED AREAS.

Seas are predicted to be on the order of 11 ft.. I wouldn't be too surprised to see wind and seas a bit higher at points by current indications. Hopefully the run will be free of squalls. Most of that ideally will have moved by already.

The countdown continues, conditions look pretty intense. It should be interesting.
