OK, so you missed them going up the Bay

The Volvos are coming! Southern Bay racer Christian Schaumloffel (Mirage, Hobie 33) has devised a way to estimate their arrival time (at the Virginia Capes and further up the Bay) and has Volvo and NOAA sites he recommends using for your calculations - you can check out the info with Christian by calling him at (757) 496-3590. Christian estimates that the first two boats will have passed through The Capes close to the wee hours this morning, with others hot on their heels later today and early Tuesday morning. If there is any breeze, you better have a really hot sport fisher to keep up with these babies!
Today's posting on SBRNYCU prompts some thoughts. The babies as Lyn McCarthy describes them will be closer together when the go down the Bay so you get a second chance to see these boats. Plus lots of opportunities in the meantime to see them in Baltimore and Annapolis. Our own Gary Jobson was to board Pirates of the Caribbean for the ride up the Bay. Hopefully for Paul Cayard and his crew this wont be considered getting outside help.
