    Update as of 3:45pm, 7/8/11

    Ragtime! has hit the mark and is screaming home. His ETA at the GGYC is a bit hard to calculate right now, but we are expecting him home anytime from 9:00am-3:00pm on Saturday. It all depends on the wind between the islands and the Gate. Moonshadow is only 19 miles from the mark and should...
