I to I Race This Saturday!
 For the ninth consecutive year they are running the I to I race this Saturday at around 9 am. It is a windsurfing race involving rounding channel markers at both Port Everglades and Hillsboro Inlet, finishing in South Beach Park in Ft. Lauderdale. That makes it about 18 miles plus all that tacking you may have to do. This is an official race of the US Windsurfing Tour by the way. I understand a few kiters have joined in at times in the past. As it is an official race there probably wouldn't be a problem for kiters tagging along as long as they didn't interfere with the windsurfers racing. In any case both kiters and windsurfers need to stay beyond 100 yards of shore along ALL beaches with lifeguards. There is no fee for the race. It looks like there may even be wind for the race from the current forecast although the direction may be a challenge for easy coastwise kiting.

The long range forecast is looking up in terms of speed and direction. Hope it comes about.
Friday Through Sunday East northeast winds 16 to 21 knots. Seas 4 to 6 feet with occasional seas up to 8 feet. Intracoastal waters choppy in exposed areas. Chance of showers. It isn't quite a reach but it is better than beating nine miles up the coast against a NE wind.

It's Back!
The I to I is coming up again this weekend! If you have race gear or a foil board or are daring enough to try it on a surfboard or TT, come on out. The long range forecast is looking pretty good. Last year this race was a blast.
