Midwinters is the first fleet event of the year. There is usually a fleet of around 10 boats, but the competition is very tough. Ask Jim, who flew all the way down from Seattle, or Phil who drove from NorCal for last weekend. It ain't easy, racing is tight, and folks are friendly.

I honestly don't remember why Dennis and I bailed on Sunday last year - reading the press release, it looks like it was really weird weather last year... anyone remember what the deal was?

After watching Lionel Messi play, I realize I need to sail harder.
