Last night's email brought the wonderful news that we have our Coast Guard permit for the race. In past years, we have waited until almost race time before receiving the permit. Thanks to the great Coast Guard personnel in both Seattle and Portland for such efficient processing!

Welcome Oregon Offshore Fans
Welcome Offshore Fans -
This is the finish line's attempt to make info about the Oregon Offshore available to friends and family who are not out on the race course. We expect to have internet access at Ogden Point, so we will experiment with this Blog as a way to give folks info about the race as it happens.
We will try to post information about boat check-ins as we get them. We will also post any stories about the race and the boats that we get.
Please remember that under the Racing Rules, you are not allowed to give any of this information to the boats that are out racing, since this would be considered "outside assistance", which is not allowed and which could cause a boat to be disqualified.
