Thanks for the comments Brian.
I just relized that I met you Saturday when I showed up.
It's always fun to put the screen names together with people.
As you said: Monday was tough out there. Probably the toughest wind/wave combo I have ever sailed. They said they had 16knots with gusts to 25knots. I think it was a 4 hour gust. The swells caused by the huricane were huge.
I heard comments from two past champions and ocean sailors that they were some of the biggest they had sailed.

Sarah and I at a start in a breeze.
She's 11 years old and 80lbs.

Heading to finish on a swell.

The pictures really don't do it justice.
Most of the fleet flipped at one time or another.
Juani(2nd place overall) flipped 6 times on Monday.

Thank You to all in your Fleet that put on a great event.
