RTI was great this year, we made it home in daylight on a Hobie 20 w/spin. Finsihing this race in the daylight is always good. The ride from the CB bouy to P Cola pass was a pretty straight shot. The ride up the channel was awsome, double trapped with the kite. We jybed a few times to get out the Destin Pass and a few more to get thourgh the Narrows, otherwise it was a straight run. Capt. Kirk provide beer at the Pensacola bridge, thanks Kirk.

I'd like to thank Mike Kelly for his work on this event this year and over the years, and Ft Walton Yacht Club for picking up the event and doing a great job running it. I hope there are many more to come.
