New finishes

Anam Cara finished at 9:26.  Right behind her was Riva at 9:28.54

While they were finishing, we heard from Velocity that they were about an hour out and from California Girl that she was at Race Rocks.

Looks like it's going to be a busy night!

Three boats have entered the Straits

Just spoke with Seattle Traffic and they tell us that three Offshore boats have entered into the Straits.  Those boats are Rage, at about 5 pm, Orizaba and Anam Cara, both between 6 pm and 6:30 pm.

Report from Anam Cara

Tom Kelly called to tell us that Anam Cara is rounding Duntze Rock. They have good wind, about 10-12 knots, and they are making about 7 or 8 knots in slack current.

The last boat they saw was Orizaba in front of them this morning, but lost them.

Seattle VTS check-ins before 1 pm Friday

Three boats have checked in with Seattle VTS before 1 pm Friday afternoon:
Anam Cara;
Time Bandit; and
Riva.

Boats in the race are required to check in with Seattle VTS when they turn the corner into the Strait of Juan de Fuca.

We are hoping to see those boats at the finish late this afternoon or some time tonight.
