O.K. You would like that rush of doing the 1000. Don't have a sponsor, boat a little rough, can't afford
chase crew, money a little tight?
I think I might have something worth listening to. Of course the "particulars" would need to be addressed, but what the heck. After all, worse things have been worked out.

Lets just say that we run a "worrell wannabees" race here off Dunedin causeway. Set the number of days that the majority of sailors would like to race: 5, 10 15..what have you. Set a course in the gulf for 50, 75, 100 miles per day. You leave from the beach and return to the beach the same day (or night). We have facilities for leaving your boat on the beach, camping on the spoil islands, and I would open my home to some sailors. (certain others would). Just a thought. Catman, what could you do with this?
