Current is RIPPING...

Wind is northwest about 12-14.  Current is at max-ebb and flushing out the Bay at well over a knot and pretty much perpendicular to the course running right to left.  The start/finish is just above the bridge near the Navy base and the axis of the course is slightly diverging from the Bridge.  We have to be careful not to get sucked into one of the bridge pilings while we're blogging!
