Jason,
I left Jubilee a short time ago. Lulls were 23 knots and I observed several gusts over 30, high of 32.3 knots. In the slip.
Good call to cancel.
Thanks,
Keith

Well, the the storm hit our warm moist air and began to gather speed and energy again. Even though it is passing a bit further north, the entire region is under both gale and tornado warnings, and several branches of the Federal Govt and schools have started sending people home which is also going to create traffic nightmares for the region when coupled with weather.
Folks on the bay are seeing 15 kts SSE and building.
Models have settled on a steady 20 with gusts in excess of 30
Several Skippers have already dropped out for tonight.
Rain models are still iffy in terms of timing, but it's better than a 50% chance of doing the entire race in the rain (or immediately before when we are tying to get out to the start)
So... with a heavy heart, I'm calling the race for tonight--as well as any events out in Deale. Stay safe!
If you didn't see my separate e-mail, please go see today's FB post for an opportunity to still earn points for your team... If you don't have FB, send me a picture of a pet on your boat and I will post it for you.
Cheers,
Jason
