NYC | C'mon, I'm cruiser. My goal is to be sober for the start and get back to finish in time for after race party.
More exiting bets are there.
Will world's best sailor (Randy a.k.a. SewSew) be able to get ahead of one of the world's best paddlers(ArdieO)?
Will best racing catamaran(Isotope) with new and improved rowing setup be ahead of Graham(Roo) on a planning monohull, designed for the Challenge?
Will Alan(SOS) loose his shoe and, as result, fall back to third place?
How long will Hobie 14 (beachcomber)last in the Challenge?
Will Wizard, on inflatable kayak from West Marine, get ahead of all of them? (I'd put half of my money on it)
Will SnoreBringGator and CrazyRussian finally manage to get together and choose nice bar in Beaufort(1st checkpoint) to discuss their experience in around the Florida race, instead of continue this stupid thing?
CrazyRussian out. (on my way to start, sitting in motel room 200 miles from the start and getting all exited)

Roanoke Island ,N.C. | I thought maybe that was a misprint. Are they taking a break from the circumnavigation?
