Sea Otter - Thursday

MONTEREY, California (transcendmagazine.com) -- The first reports are now coming in from the 2006 Sea Otter Classic in Monterey, California. After a week or so of torrential rains, the sun is out and no rain is scheduled until tomorrow afternoon.

Courses are swamped, and reports are that the truck parking area was under water as of last evening. It shouold be an interesting event, to say the least.

Look for more detailed course reports with a few photos starting this evening as things really start to get under way.
