Beer Can #7 - May 21

Cancelled!!! We're expecting gale force winds tonight, so the beer can race for this week has been cancelled. Here are some graphics that show what's going on...

From windfinder.com, showing close to 40mph winds at 3pm!





From real-time SF wind patterns with red arrows, which I've never seen before on this site!





I've never known Spinnaker to cancel, so these winds must be really strong! Hope to see y'all next week...

This just in... I just got a call from Kerry, saying that some people who showed up to race Merits this week actually went out on the big boats, since Spinnaker cancelled the Merit race. He said that the wind peaked at over 40 knots, steady at 30-35 knots. Apparently, Bad Puddy Cat had a mast failure. They had a rip-roaring time out there!
