Day 1 starts

Day one has officially started. All of the boats pushed off at 10am this morning and boy was it exciting. The wind, unexpectedly, turned out to blow 15 to 20 knots making today's run up to Hollywood Beach faster than previously expected. 
Thanks to Warren, Kaitlyn and I got to go out to the start with power boats to watch everyone and to stay with the bunch for a few miles.
Shortly after the start Marley's white (Dennis and Jason) flipped and had some difficulty getting back over. But eventually got themselves upright and joined in with the rest of them.
As we left them, Marley's Yellow (Jay and Steve)was in the lead with Tybee and Velocity trailing behind. Marley's Orange (Jared and Colin) was in solid 4th and gaining speed.

Reports have come in to say Tybee has had some problems and flipped over.
Hopefully everyone is safe, and Dennis and Jason have caught up.

See ya at the finish line!!
