The courses for most ocean races today

pass through or near one or more Tra‡c

BOATSPEED

DR. CRASH

“It’s the second

night of the

Wet Wednesday

series. The races

are ‘fun’ and don’t

count toward the

overall season

scores. Hitchhiking

is encouraged as a

way to find or break

in new crew.”
