Lots of mayhem on Charleston Harbor today. Chip Till and Paul Whitesides ran aground and broke a lot of parts but they are still way up there in the j24 fleet.
Bob Cowen had a very close encounter with another J24 - the other boat coming in to their cockpit. Asked if they got any pictures - but they were in survival mode.
On the Melges course the pin boat operators were routinely tagged by boats starting and finishing.
Super aggressive sailing in what must be the biggest regatta on the East Coast.
After a few Dark and Stormy's everybody is happy.
Except for the guys yelling at each other outside of the Protest Room #2
Not sure how many protest rooms they have.
Forecast is for gusts to 39 knots tomorrow . Maybe a lay day.
