Day two started off as a light air morning when the wind building and clocking
from the south to the south east by the end of the day. All the teams got off
the beach on the first attempt and wind build along the way.

The F18’s hit the beach first with Team Cubra Libra coming in first and had
a sizable lead over the rest of the second pack. They were followed by TPR,
Team Chums II, Nauti Gear, R3, TCDY, Sailboat Shop, Yost, WWW, San Diego, Team
Chums I, Team Dallas and McBok. A couple of the teams to hit the beach first
said that there were two areas that the wind was light during the course.

The ground crew had another 100 plus miles to cover and I hit the beach about
45 min. before the first team landed. The first thing the crew did was grap
a couple of cold drinks. Team Chums II, after temporarly losing the skipper
the day before, hit the beach 3rd,

Winds on the beach were ~15kts and weather was clear and sunny.
