So according to the forecasts I'm looking at, it is not going to be a boring Regatta due to the weather.
For Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, somewhere around 20 knot winds with 4 to 5 foot waves depending on where one is on the island (with a little less on Sunday).
And for the Commodore's Cup on Thursday, 18 to 24 knot winds with 4 to 5 foot waves, which can be a bit of a challenge for some of the smaller sailboats.
If you are on a Spectator Boat, and are prone to sea sickness, use your patch or medication. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />
Serious Fun. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Groovin.gif" alt="" />

Sounds like fun!! Being on a spectator boat with no wind is not much fun! Wish I was going to be there!

Well white caps on the water have started today, and things pick up from there. Some boats will really be bouncing.
Hope the people on the Spectator Boats know not to puke into the wind! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/duh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/jester.gif" alt="" />

Fortunately I've never been one to be seasick, but your advice for the bonine, etc., should be taken to heart. Maybe those here going should pick up some and take some medicine along, just in case!

I think the winds blew Rasputin off the island. No sighting yet and I know what he looks like!
Windy today but Mullet was great and had a huge crowd. 2nd row at 10:00 but nice beach and calm.
