Wow! Three races completed in the ECORA OC-1/2 series so far and great weather for each one. Hopefully the streak will continue.

Results from the second ECORA one-man series race, Buckroe Beach Dash or Splash in Hampton, VA held on May 13, 2006.

What a way to start off the East Coast Outrigger Racing Association OC-1/2 season!

Gray over hanging clouds and cool showers threatened early and then the sun busted a move to melt away the long winter.

Sunday 26th February dawned in Treasure Island, Florida with a cold front rolling through. All paddlers were woken at dawn with lightning and thunder preceding the cold front and the squall line.... many paddlers decided that this was a day to stay off the water. However, I had been monitoring Windguru.com and they accurately predicted that the rain would stop by 9am and that the weather would start clearing by start time at 10am. Bulls eye !!
