Pagan River Challenge will be held on the Pagan River on Sunday, May 18th.

Race Instructions:  
Starting/Finish line = between East end of GPYC pier and East - most "no
wake" buoy.
Course:
Starting line to Pagan River Entrance and Return (6.3 nm).
Marks:
(R"2" and G"1") for Pagan River entrance will serve as a "gate"  you can go
around either one of them.
These are the only marks on the course..but there is some shallow water out
there.
Sails:
Non-spinnaker.two headsails permitted.
Starts:  (Start According to GPS time)
Staggered start.  Finish is boat-for-boat.  Here are start times for boats I
think might race:

Whisper - Balboa 26 -   11:10:00
Rebecca - Capri 22 -     11:11:16
Recovery - Hunter 30 -   11:13:47
Alexis - Cal 330 -          11:14:06
Odyssey - S2 11.0A -    11:16:12
Windrush II - Sabre 83 - 11:19:46
Tranquillity - Hunter 37   11:20:05

According to my weather guru, Sunday should be mid-70's with wind W to WSW
at 10-15 knots, with scattered T-storms.
This should be fun, and a real challenge.  

Monitor UHF 71.

Meet at GPYC after race (2:30 or 3:00) for prizes and swapping lies.

See ya on the water!
