pretty lofty goal there
In all the races I've done I cant remember a single weather report that was ever even remotely close of the actual conditions. I gave up on all that kinda stuff long ago, I'll tell ya whats its like when i'm lining up to a yellow flag lookin for a green one . Besides whats it really matter your all in the same water
Watch out for the "bump" leaving the harbor heading out. Also we found by running turn 2 wide and heading for the shoreline we could find some clean water sooner on some choppy days (tip from Marc Granet)Throttles- Cleveland Construction/Traffic Light Racing 377 Talon cat

11-06-2009 12:35 PMPossibility of actual Offshore conditions in Key West? Excellent. I just got here and there is a steady 20 mph wind. Everywhere outside the Harbor is 2-3-4 depending on how far out you go. I would imagine the "Wall" is building up nicely. Of course Wednesday is a long way off.

I hate to ask a stupid question, but....
On a 6.3 mile inshore course, how much of a difference do offshore conditions really make? Not criticizing, just curious.

It can be 1-3 in the harbor and 6-8 at turn one......

How much fuel is the average boat (non-turbine) carrying for these short courses? I'd think in an 18 mile race you barely need any fuel. Definitely a cost savings.

At least they are out there. Those that have never raced don't understand how big of an accomplishment it is just to make it out there (especially in this economy). My hats off to all of you.

How long does an 18 mile race take? Not you DD, because I heard you never make it all the way around.
