Yes it is, but if there is a FX-one nationals next year in B.C. that's 2000 miles one way, and I'm kicking around doing that event. You guys have it made down there, lots of beach, and a sailing season that borders on infinitly longer than ours. I'm about ready to pack it up now. Too cold. This past weekend it was 30 degrees the morning of the regatta. If I'm stupid enough to race in that, I'm dumb enough to burn 180 gallons of diesel to get to FL. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
