Honeycraft had some problems first thing in the morning and was unable to start at his 9:36AM start time but did make it out to begin the race at 10:05AM. He and his crew Duane made a great comeback.
Aquila had some issues in the morning and John needed to be back to the dock by noon to get back home, so Aquila did not participate.

Rounding Marker 3:
Rosebud at 11:15AM
Odyssey at 11:20AM
Unplugged—unfortunately we could not hear most of Unplugged’s radio transmissions throughout the
Day, but we believe they may have rounded marker 3 around the same time as Odyssey

Honeycraft at 11:45AM
Querida at 11:54AM
Journey at 12:00PM
M&M at 12:05PM

Honeycraft was doing a great job of gaining on Unplugged but unfortunately had to withdraw from the race at 2:12 so his crew could return home.
Rosebud rounded marker 19 at 2:35
M&M at 5:25.
We do not have info from any other boats. We were unable to hear a lot of the radio transmissions.
At 5:25 Rosebud was at the power lines, with Tenacious about a mile behind. In third was Odyssey and Unplugged in 4th. Unplugged and Odyssey played tag for quite a while switching between 3rd and 4th place a few times but in the end Unplugged said Odyssey did some fantastic maneuvering and they were unable to overtake him.
At 6:50PM Rosebud was passing marker 3 and headed back to the finish line.
Tenacious was about a mile from marker 3. Odyssey was at Goat Island.
M&M and Journey both started up motors around 7PM. Journey continued by motor to the marina and M&M stopped for the night off the Henderson Point Beach Campground.
At 7:20 Tenacious passes marker 3, and Rosebud was approximately 2 miles from the finish line.
At 7:45 Odyssey, Unplugged and Querida were approximately 1 mile from the power lines on their return trip

Tenacious is declared second place winner of the Billy Tee Bluenose Race at 8:37:06. His total time was 10 hours and 26 minutes.
At 10:40Pm an exhausted Jeff, who was sailing alone, felt it was best to call it a night and started up the motor. He continued on the Henderson Pt Campground and anchored near M&M. We continued to keep radio contact with him until he was anchored to make sure he was ok and arrived safe and sound. It is close to midnight by the time he anchors. His total sailing time was 13 hours and 40 minutes
Querida passed marker 3 at 10:54 on their way to the finish line and relayed information to us that Unplugged was near the Rock Wall.
AT 11PM the windspeed is 5.4.
Rains had finally stopped and we were actually seeing some stars and able to the see the bright full moon. Unfortunately the winds died, and the Unplugged crew was tired. They stopped to anchor at Henderson Point around 12:19AM. Total time was 14 hours and 52 minutes.
Most of the Parrotise crew was snoozing as Laura kept watch for Querida to come in.
Querida is declared the 3rd place winner of the Billy Tee Bluenose Rose at 1:04:02AM. His total time was 15 hours and 4 minutes.
Parrotise pulls anchor, collects the finish line buoy, and heads back towards the marina, finally getting back in at 1:45AM. Total time, 16 hours and 15 minutes.
Pat Terry and his friend John, crew from Querida, hopped in the car and headed back home after such a long day.
Congratulations to every single person, captain and crew, who took the chance and participated in the Bluenose Race, despite the cold, despite the rain, despite even no winds at time. We hope everyone enjoyed themselves!
