Racing is not the only reason to own a boat.
Gasp! Perish the thought

By the way, Jake, I may have found a new path around Cape Romano for your EC next year. Let me see if I can download the track from Saturday. It's skinny, but I never touched with the board 1/2 way down (maybe 3' draft?)
Would save you from going all the way out to the light before cutting east.
of course, a good storm will move all that sand anyway...
