Team Forte Sea- 2010 Race To Mackinac: [Epic Journey]

A truly epic adventure highlighted by shipwrecks, turbulent seas, plane crashes, and swarming flies of biblical proportions... Team Forte Sea making their first appearance in the in the ORR Cruising Division of the Chicago Yacht Club's 102nd Annual Race To Mackinac.

The Chicago to Mackinac Sailboat Race is run by the Chicago Yacht Club. With a race course running 333 mi (536 km), it is the oldest and one of the longest fresh-water races in the world, with hundreds of yachts entering each year.

The race was first run in 1898, with the sloop Vanenna winning against four boats, and starts off the mouth of the Chicago River in Chicago, crosses Lake Michigan, barely enters Lake Huron, and finishes in the Round Island Channel, off Mackinac Island, Michigan. July 24th 2010 marks the 102nd annual race, and Team Forte Sea's first official entry.

Nice job with the video and music. Looks like you avoided most of that weather on Friday night.

Thanks for the kind words. We actually got hit off and on with those storms overnight Friday and sporadically on Saturday. I was hoping for more, since the big girl handles foul weather so well, but mother nature had other plans.
