Posts: 324 South Florida | Just Kidding! Man... Talk about coming in DEAD last!!!!! We couldn't find the second maker. We went back and forth about 3 times! It's a good thing I can say it was my first race, otherwise it would be embarrasing!

Posts: 324 South Florida | Thanks Rick, We did have a blast anyway. I had never been sailing so far out into Biscayne bay. It was a real treat. Next time I'll definetly bring less crew. It was like dragging an anchor. And also a small GPS will be helpful. I'll be there for the next one!

Sorry I didn't wait around for you guys at the beach, I was in a hurry to get home after being away for 4 days. Next time we'll hang out. Go ahead and put the Conch Cup and Tradewinds on your schedule. There will also be several more CABB events stuffed in between.

Posts: 324 South Florida | Robi, Did you have the white sail with the two blue stripes? That, and the multicolored H16 sails were the only ones I kept seeing (in the distant horizon). Arbo, we crossed when I was on my way to the second marker and you were on your way back to Hobie beach. I tried to gesture "Wherethafakisthesecondmarker" but realized there is no known gesture for that does anyone know what place everyone came in, and times?

Downwind they are not as fast as spin boats, but usually do the Wildthing and stay close, but boy do they ever go upwind. Most unis will outpoint sloops upwind and if they have enough power and are light enough, they will usually beat them. Rick | | |
