F-16 Blade, Wilder Robles and crew

We got to the beach around 7am, we scrambled to get the boat ready and the sails hoisted. We pushed off the beach with 15 minutes to start. Luckily everything was setup correctly. At the starting line, we did start within the fleet, pretty much dead smack in the middle. Seeing how I was being shadowed by such bigger boats and sails, I had to get out of there quick. We decided to foot our course. We bared off in pursuit of speed. It paid off tremendously. At about Turkey Point we had a lead on various boats that were in front of us at the starting line. Not having any local knowledge of the area, we were faced with a huge question/challenge; WHICH way to go around the small islands. Our course had set up on a collision path with an island and shallow water. We pulled our boards up and started pinching. We dropped speed and got stuck in a bad, NO WIND hole. At this point this is where all the boats we had a good lead on, passed right by us. A few errors on our behalf and a low wind situation equals a slow F16. This was our case. We were NOT going anywhere any time soon. Slowly all the other boats were zipping by. We did some minor changes on the boat and we started getting better speed. At this point it was too late in the race. We passed under card sound bridge and headed straight to the finish line.

Fun race plus awesome winds equals the sail of a lifetime. Those who missed this race missed an excellent opportunity to go out and see FL from a different perspective.
