BBC Leg 2 Green Turtle Cay: Congratulations to captain Artie Meadows (500 pts) on TORTA for winning the Turtle Cay Leg. 2nd Place BOOMER (300 pts) and 3rd place Captain Kenneth Cummins (100 pts) on HOOKER. The International Division event will be one to watch as many teams will be competing in all of the BBC events and the bonus Championship Cup points of 250 could make a huge difference in the final outcome of the first ever International Captain of the Year. Will the fleet find a bite Southeast of the Light again, out in the deep off the Mushroom, way down by Hole-In-The-Wall or around Cherokee Point? Only time will tell and we are certain the Captain of the Year Cup International Division standings will be changing in this Sanctioned series. Good luck to all the participants in this year’s Championship and stay tuned to InTheBite for a direct link to the updates.
