Laura talked to an Italian team that had been coming for the last 6 years and they said it's never been as windy as it was for all four days. For me sailing at and beyond my limit is a stressful affair, I'm almost looking forward to the chop on the first day of the Steeplechase :-)


Those are great events in the rear view mirror. I remember heading to a local lake regatta a couple of weeks after finishing my first Tybee 500. Conditions for the 500 that year were pretty big. Big waves, big wind...I was definitely waaay outside my comfort zone. I looked over that lake upon arriving Friday night and I remember thinking how there wasn't much this lake could throw at me that I couldn't handle anymore.
