The Down the Bay Race starts tomorrow morning.  We will be sailing from Annapolis, MD to Hampton, VA.  It will be the longest race, in terms of distance, that I have participated in and I'm really excited about it.  According to the SI's the race is 123 nm long.  With an average boat speed of 5 knots we should finish in about 24-25 hours.  The wind forecast may have something to say about that however.  Over the past few days, the forecast has oscillated back and forth from 10-15 knots to 5-10 knots for Friday.  Friday night has been consistently on the light side, but still 5-10.  Saturday looks a little better as we get closer and closer to Hampton with a fairly consistent forecast of 8-12 knots.  I'm hoping we can keep the breeze and make good time!
