A warning for boaters for this coming Friday around Beavertail
100th Anniversary of the Newport Bermuda race.
There will be ALOT of boats.
Start time is around noon.
Stay the hell away, its gonna be a zoo.
And no, you don't have the right of way.

Those boats in this race?
Maximus was doing over 15 knots just after the start.
One of the VOR boats broke 40 knots in the southern ocean. |
