Tampa, DIYC,Yada, yada yada

So this update is totally late. So this will be day 1, 2 and a wrap up all in one.

To start with our planning for this one was lacking, no real explanation. We decided to commute back and forth which is a first from our new house. Turns out to be a cake drive, 50 minutes ish, all highway, etc. the drawback was we left the girls ( dogs) home, that's not really fun. We decided to bail out on the fourth race Saturday to head home to let them out.

In case you have not heard Jeff Linton did the Everglades challenge the weekend prior and won the mono hull division in his modified scot known as Frankenscot. This was a totally cool thing to follow as it was happening, the only drawback for me was that I had to sign in to Facebook (first time in a long time) to catch the play by play. Happily I have not seen Facebook again since jeff won and that is all good.

Day two was short, one race short, since 4 were sailed on Saturday. jeff and Amy were in the groove and took a relatively comfortable win for the regatta. Zeke H was going good too and grabbed a couple bullets along the way but had a couple bigger scores too.

Andy and Lisa were tough too and hung in Sunday despite Andy being under the weather, I heard there was some vomit involved.

Rob w and john w were awesome in robs new boat 6040. Some of these guys are looking pretty speedy in there new boats. Seems that those of us going on the cheap with the older beaters may have to step it up.

Pretty much out of words for now but getting ready to head to New Orleans for the mid winters so more to come on that one. Out.
