Since there's no 3rd report, I'll provide one. I got there late
(5:10). There was decent wind inside and apparently great wind in the
channel because some people were rigging 4.8's and such, though one guy
rigged a 6.5 (talk about wide variations). For some reason I decided
to go with my 5.5 Prisma, and it was the right call (every once in a
while this happens for some reason).
The channel was really nice with relatively gentle head-high swells,
occasionally a little higher. The wind was strong out in the channel,
but I was just about never overpowered.
The sun set as I sailed back. I covered all but the last 20 yards
under wind power (not necessarily planing), after that my fin hit the
bottom (the low tide was very low). I was the 3rd-to-last one in at
around 7PM. When I left at around 7:30, the last two guys were still
at least 100 yards out and had limited daylight remaining. I know one
of those guys was on a 4.8. With the tide so low they could stand,
albeit in the mud.
BTW I hit a couple of sand bars with my fin not far inside the channel
marker.
