I like the idea of extending the finish time another hour. I was one of the boats that retired this year. Shortly after rounding CR buoy the wind just died. We sat there for an hour with not wind.
I also like the idea of the finished after deadline category. I have entered 4 races this year and just finished one. A little frustrating but just part of dealing with Mother Nature and in combination with a slower boat you know its a possibility.
For anyone interested I posted photos and video from our sail back up from HMB a week after the race. My crew Daren, Leah Pepe and I had a glorious sail back up with dolphins on the approach to the Gate and some great surfing as we passed under the bridge.

Tony,
Nice blog and story. Those were Harbor Porpoises you saw on your trip back. They've made quite a comeback of late. There's a really good article in a recent issue of Bay Nature about their return:
