I suppose this is as good a time as any to announce that I will be blogging this year's event for Team Seacats from the boats themselves. I'm calling my special coverage: Live...from the tramp. Catchy, no? It's just that, with everyone posting on sites nowadays, I was forced to raise my game.

Anyhoo, we plan to have a third, media only boat wo-manned by two accomplished sailors: Strickland's wife, Robyn and Zander's bride, Wendy (who will have their imminent arrival Abby, by then 2 months, lashed to her in an adorable pink and white striped sling). I've only seen ultrasound photos thus far, but she seems like a charming girl.

I will be switching between the Orange and White teams throughout the day with the precision of an airborne refueling mission by utilizing a complex series of acrobatic moves learned while watching Cirque de Soleil's latest show, Kooza, in Atlanta a couple of weeks ago. It looked really easy, so I'm confident.
