103rd Chicago Yacht Club Race To Mackinac Begins Today, Rebel Pundit is in the Race

Today is the start of the 103rd Chicago Yacht Club Race to Macknac Island. At 333 miles and the entire length of Lake Michigan, with over 300 sail boats competing; it is the world’s largest fresh water sporting event. Rebel Pundit needs a break from the news and will be making a 6th trip to the island with a handful of other patriots on board Free Agent, a Schock 35. The weather is looking light to moderate, with some thunderstorms in forecast; and will most likely be a spinnaker run to the island.

Weather updates are available here: NOAA. All competitors are equipped with a GPS transponder, so please track our progress and follow us up the lake. You can find the tracking site here: Section 5, Free Agent. In addition to race tracking, we will be sending on board updates via Twitter; follow @RebelPundit and hashtag #FreeAgentS35.
