Very challenging with lots of weather. No snow, but everything else. We did a lot of reaching and chute work. The boat got wet early and never dried out, but we ate well and had lots of fun.”Intangilble is the next cruiser expected to finish. DogDayz is awaiting to see if they will correct over them.
