Scoots, why didn't you come down to the beach when they were lining up? No worries, I know that the fearless founder of this website got some good pictures. Can't wait to see them!

Grayton was wild! And the catamarans looked too cool lined up along the shore. Looking forward to seeing Kurt's pictures!

My secret photographer sent me a phone pic of the boats lined up at Grayton. I even was able to open it! What a sight!

I was running late, so I just went down to my beach and headed west. Figured if I took the car to Grayton I'd be sitting in traffic unable to see the race and would totally miss the start, but if I took the sand I'd be sure to catch at least part of the race.

Next year I will definitely be at the Grayton start, though it was fun following the race from Watercolor to Seagrove on foot along the beach. Was cool to see the position changes. Thought it was going to be pink and turquoise rainbow fighting it out, then white sail smoked them all!
Kurt's pictures do the event justice!
P.S. Where was the finish? I stopped trying to keep up around the Villas.

The finish was in Seagrove off Dothan Lane/street. It was a fun time!
