weather hold

I received a call from the beach at Fort De Soto.  The Coast Guard has put in place a mandatory weather hold due to nine rescues this morning.  More details coming.  I've emailed information.  SandyBottom acknowledged, haven't heard from the others.

Urgent Message for Shore Contacts: Per Coast Guard, please contact your Challengers and tell them to find shelter ashore immediately. Subsequent messages regarding continuation of the events will be posted on the Forums and here. All shore contacts will be phoned within the next hour. Please do not call race management unless reporting an emergency. Thanks. Stay tuned.
