Reports from the Course
Chicagomackinac.com’s effort to recruit “Yacht Watch” team members has been paying off.
The following reports came in this afternoon and evening.

Hey, guys, I have been following the race from my vantage point on Sleeping Bear Bay in Glen Arbor, south of the Manitou Passage. I saw the first boat sailing between the islands at 3:15pm EDT~~
We also had reports of a large portion of the fleet slowly travelling from Big Point Sable at 3:00 pm. Unfortunately, we also learned that another (maybe some of the same?) large portion of the fleet appeared to be becalmed south of Point Betsie at sunset. Could be a looong night if the wind stays down.
Wind forecast for Mackinac Island on Monday is calm to variable. Weather like that has been known to make the home stretch of the race from the Bridge to the finish the longest part of the race.
