RR,
"It's up to the individual captain to make the decision to stay at the dock." That goes without saying, but no need to put additional pressure on anyone. Were there many small boats entered? I heard that 3rd place was taken by a 23 or 24 fott boat, that also should be a consideration.

The event is just too big to reschedule. They would never get all the slips in OB harbor again for another weekend in the summer and re-scheduling the banquet etc...etc....

We passed a 23 foot Pacific with a single Suzuki about 3 miles outside Meskeget Channel and thought he was pushing his luck just a bit. I would have stayed at the dock if I were him.

I actually saw that Yellowfin on Saturday morning, and it did extremely well in the conditions. (great looking boat by the way) Blew by us and we were doing 19kts. I am suprised by how many small boats were out there. We saw the chopper fly over as we were heading in.

I think the guy can be prosecuted and fined for setting off the epirb in that circumstance........and he should be

I am on the old boat I worked in those pics. This year there was no chopper (or at least it didn't follow us like in years past heading around Wasque). I think the wind might have had something to do with it.
