Any results and pics up yet?

Had some scoring problems and did not get done until late last night.
Getting ready to go back out this am, but will get some scores up later this afternoon.
Winds were between 4 and 10 with a couple of 30 degree shifts. Good fleets of F18, F16, H16 and Waves.

Sorry for the radio silence, but we had some scoring issues that have taken up most of my time.
Good winds yesterday at 8-10, then died by 2 and racing was done. Most fleets have 6 races in so far.
TOday is not looking good. May end up as a 2 day regatta. VERY unusual for the Keys, as we normally have our 10-15 Tradewinds most of the time.

First feedback from Tradewinds (from Sarasota youth squadron facebook page):
Good representation of the Multihull team, Ravi Parent and Sam Armington qualified for ISAF Youth Worlds, Jason D'Agostino and Dalton Tebo won Tradewinds on a Falcon f18, Sophia Schultz and Nico Schultz won Tradewinds on a Ysp Falcon f16, and Jack Famiglietti and Aaron Burnett placed 3rd in f16s.
