Zanshin said:I just arrived in Antigua - the RORC600 boats here have for the most part given up the race due to light winds and I had to motorsail much of the way here. Very rare weather conditions for this time of year. Per the race tracker, only 11 have retired. Granted, that's more than one would expect in light conditions (not damage-related) out of an 80-something boat fleet. You sure are telling the truth about the conditions! Man it looked painful for the boats that were stuck between Guadeloup and Isle de Saints for about 6 hours this morning <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Yikes.gif" alt="" /> Unless things pick up, I think a few boats might miss the awards party tomorrow night. That would truly be a tragedy, because it's one helluva party!! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/toast.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Groovin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Banana.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Cheers.gif" alt="" /> http://caribbean600.rorc.org/Tracking-Players/2017-fleet-tracking.html
