A Slow Sunday on Mackinac
Several consecutive years of fast Mac’s have spoiled many a van driver.
Rather than being unsure of what time the boats may arrive - they have been conditioned to remember that most of the 70’s & faster vessels just make last call.
Not so this year. With the fastest yachts on the course being many hours behind the record setting pace of 2003, the story on the island is wait.
Genuine Risk crossed the 45th parallel at 2:21 this afternoon, the winds have been light, but consistant in the straits - but they need to turn the corner first.
Earth Voyager followed within 25 minutes. Then the Max Z86 Windquest and the Transpac 52 group 3 hours later. The first 70, Holua, called in at the 45th at 6:52.
