FS 2014 Midwinters from New Orleans

So we have settled in nicely here in NOLA, back at the Rose Manor Bed and Breakfast where we also stayed two years ago. There is no RV accommodations at the club so it is home and our dogs are with our old friends near Dunedin. I'm sure they are having fun!

We had an easy trip up here and split it up by stopping for an overbite stay with John Damagala. John and Susie have a cool house near Pensacola. John showed us around town and af,ter dinner we stopped in at the yacht club for some bushwackers, which are excellent. Rumor has it we may be doing a little sailing there in the future which would be cool. On a similar note the Midwinters will be returning to St. Andrews Bay for a year in the future. We like the sounds of that especially since it is a camper friendly venue.

The turn out is off a little with about 30 boats entered this year but there is no shortage of talent. It has been chilly but we should have better weather starting Tuesday which is the first day of racing. Temps are supposed to be in the 70's with generally light wind.

We will try to set something posted here Tuesday pm, you might check the class website for news and maybe some GoPro video from Eric who has a bunch of cameras rigged on his Scot. We will add a link later.
