THE START OF A 24-HUNDRED- MILE ROWING COMPETITION, FROM CANNERY ROW (IN MONTEREY) TO HAWAII, HAS BEEN DELAYED. BECAUSE OF HIGH OFF-SHORE WINDS, THE 13-BOAT RACE WILL NO LONGER OFFICIALLY BEGIN SATURDAY, BUT ROWERS STILL PLAN TO LAUNCH AND DO A DISPLAY FOR THE PUBLIC THAT DAY. THE GREAT PACIFIC RACE IS EXPECTED TO TAKE ROWERS 30 – 90 DAYS TO COMPLETE. AT THIS POINT THE START OF THE RACE HAS BEEN DELAYED UNTIL MONDAY, HOWEVER A MEETING IS SCHEDULED TO BE HELD AT 11 A.M. THURSDAY (06/05/14), TO DECIDE IF THE RACE SHOULD BE DELAYED PAST MONDAY.
