It's GO time! And it's beautiful!

It’s GO TIME! Teams arrived at the Chicago Yacht Club for the final time this morning, chomping at the bit to take off for Mackinac Island.

Storms moved through the area overnight and left behind dramatic skies, wind, and lumpy seas for competitors in the Racing Division – adding to the excitement of the day. Sailors are kitting up, docking out, and headed for the race course.

The first start will be at 1100 CT - check out the complete starting sequence schedule online:

It is far more than the United States that our military serves and protects. This "thank you, America" currently stands in the middle of Plzen, Czech Republic. They thank you, and we thank you for serving or having served.
