The 2009 i to i, (Inlet to Inlet Distance Race), race was run December 5, 2009.
Quick Recap: Lucky number 13 sailors, a few less than last year's turnout; conditions got more challenging as the wind lightened, and a pretty long way to sail with the nearly sideshore conditions, 38.3 miles on Ron's GPS from launch to landing. Incredible drive showed by Daniel Borsutzky and Beth Winkler who were determined to go the whole distance, despite how long it took, over 5 hours +++ for both.
How the race was started and some history of the race.
