It is dying down and should get calmer as the day goes.

It looks like the wind has died down and he sun starting to come peep out. I am betting the weather will be ok for the shootout.

Just went outside and the wind is kicking up and it's getting cold.. Sprinkling.. Looks like I'll spend the rest of the day cleaning up and prepping for the after party tonight

Looks like the rain is coming, was heading down to run the 32 Spectre with Chris and watch the shootout. Guess I'll launch after the rain passes.

Might be this way for awhile. Doppler showing a fairly large cell pumping in from Southwest of Havasu and moving through to the North.

It's shitty out here and I'm freezing my ass off. Bloody Mary's at the house sound like a good idea.

Saw the dial 911 boat speed up then get out of it at the start buoy and turn out.

It looks offaly crappy out there. Plus the lightning.

Edit: she just made a pass. Don't know the speed.

This announcer guy is not consistent with info. Sorry for those of you not here. Posting it when they broadcast it.

Few boats have gone through but no info. Last boat was 137 no owner or boat info though. Looked like a reddish M31.
