Warren - As much I would love to participate in that series, like Ding said, there are a lot of other regattas going on during that time. Plus.....the Keys are REALLY far from just about everywhere. Hell, I live in Tampa, and it's still a 6 hour trip to get to the Islander. Many people are already making the trek to the keys in December (Steeplechase), and January (Tradewinds). Maybe if there was a location in Miami or Ft Lauderdale, it would be easier to get people to commit to.
