Safety Harbor Bikini Cup   
17 April 2010

Well, the race is done, the food is gone, and the party is over. The second Safety Harbor Bikini Cup Race was a bigger (read REALLY huge) success than last year. Great weather, great food, and a large crowd all contributed to a good time by all. This year, we had 13 boats/crews registered for the race. There were no reported violations, if you don't count chasing the Marker #4 around, and not one collision this year. Of course, there were a lot of opinions that we had to share with you.

Here is a sample of the comments overheard during the course of the day...

• Why are there two # 4 Orange Marks?
• Who hung their see-through lacey red and black bra with the Bikini Decorations?
• We almost lost a foredeck crew overboard, during a take-down, but she saved the whisker pole.
• On the last leg, "Amelia" was blocking our view of the finish line, so we couldn't see it.

... and repeated again this year:

• "That is enough food to feed 200 people."
• "Who hid the deserts?"

There are some links below for you to enjoy. We have our sponsors, race results, and links to some pictures taken that day.
