Hurricane Jeanne hits regatta location with less force than expected – Nacra
North American Championship is still on!
Tuesday, September 28, 2004 – Hurricane Jeanne came barreling up the coast
of Florida and Georgia late last weekend and the Nacra North American
Championship regatta site was in jeopardy.
Weather Channel’s Jeff Morrow was on Tybee Island over the weekend, keeping
a watchful eye on the winds and waves. However, the storm was downgraded to
a tropical storm and Tybee Island did not receive the damage that was
expected or experienced in other parts of the Southeast.
After contacting Regatta Official Chuck Bargeron this morning, he briefly
stated It¹s a go! and quickly hung up with no time to chat. There was really no heavy wind, just gusts and lots of rain, according to
a representative at the Beach House Colony we had no real flooding, the
beach eroded a bit, but there is still plenty of room for parking of
trailers and boats.
Its time to pack up the gear, and get in vacation mode. Head off to the
Nacra North American Championships at Tybee Island, Georgia from October 4th
through the 7th!
