BBSA Neptune's Atlantic Regatta

Point to Point Pursuit Race from the start at Little Creek Entrance Buoy through Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel, to the finiah line just off the beach at 24th Street in Virginia Beach, about a 15 NM race. The winds were strong and forecast to be 18-21, gusts to 29 swells 2-3m. No big deal for the first leg as the CBBT islands blocked the wind and seas to some extent, and then once through CBBT channel it was a broad race to dead downwind to the finish line. The problem was after the finish, it took 4 hours to complete the race, and about 71/2 hours to sail back through CBBT to Hampton. It was a bumpy and wet ride.
