Bill and Myself were coming but he has to stay with the Hotel and make sure everything is ok. Sucks we cant make it. But gotta take care of stuff at home first. Sorry Louie.

Race is cancelled.

However, the Friday night street party is still on. If you are in Long Island, please attend the street party with your boat.

Contact Louie for Details.

I'm sorry to hear the race is cancelled, rather than post-poned. I want to thank Louie for all of his efforts putting this race together. We know he was up against major "obsticles", and did'nt back down.

Race is cancelled for what reason?!?!?!?!?!

Safety.


Irene, a major Category 3 hurricane, battered the low-lying Bahamas southeast of Florida on Thursday and was expected to sweep northward to hit the North Carolina coast on Saturday, before raking up the remaining Atlantic seaboard.

"All the major metropolitan areas along the Northeast are going to be impacted by the close proximity of the way Irene is going to pass," National Hurricane Center Director Bill Read told Reuters Insider on Thursday. "Being a large hurricane, tropical storm-force winds will extend far inland."

After hitting North Carolina, Irene was expected to weaken to a still-dangerous Category 2 storm on the five-step Saffir-Simpson intensity scale, and move on Sunday into the Delaware, Maryland and Virginia coastal region, and then up to New York on Monday, Read said. A Category 2 storm carries winds of 96 to 110 mph.

He said Irene could mimic the path of Hurricane Gloria in 1985, a Category 3 storm that hit North Carolina's Outer Banks and then slammed into New York's Long Island and curved through New England, causing $900 million of damage.

A foot of rain is expected to fall between 8am and 6pm on Sunday with winds between 70 and 90mph.

Sux....:(

I say run the race...they are offshore boats rights?? go fast enoughin 20' seas you can double them super cross style!!! Might even put hair on Tyler's chest..as for the rest of you metrosexuals......

Sorry Louie and Kevin, I know its a kick in the pants. Thank you for all your efforts to putting this on!

Kinda hard to ask Fire/Police/EMS/Coast Guard to babysit our race when they have other issues to prepare for.

I would rather see the race canceled for this reason than have it canceled due to political BS...

Great fight Louie and Kevin ! It just wasn't in the cards this season...
