THANK YOU RICK, MARY, JOHN, and whoever else was involved with the reporting!!! I've just had one of the more challenging weeks of my life, trying to balance caring for someone in a health crisis, and being slammed at work. Each night I've been able to touch base here, and at Seacats. It has really helped keep my spirits up, and not lose sight of the world around me while I struggled to get through the week! Each day I would spend some time thinking about Oz, and about Seacats, and then to be able to read the accounts of the day when I got home was great! Today I was home caring for my friend, but my mind was out there in the race all day! I have to confess I found myself rooting for Tybee! Something about that spinnaker! Congrats to all the competitors for a great race! Thanks to you all for helping me get through such a tough week! Brian
