Tami,

That was a fun article to read! Thanks!

Btw, what happened at The Island Hop race this year? (The wind was definitely up over here) And did you guys have the Miss Horny Island Contest?

Hi thom

I was in your neck, having a large time at FWYC. Why weren't you at Meigs?

It sounds like the Everglades challenge is routinely won by multihull sailors.

I'd love to see some sort of multi-day distance race down the west coast of Florida. Conditions can be a bit less brutal than the east coast.

Maybe partner with Everglades Challenge?

To the contrary, the west coast of Florida is much more dangerous than the east coast for a catamaran race because of lack of comfortable places to come ashore. That's why the Hog's Breath 1000 had a short existence.

Like Tami said, why not just do the Everglades Challenge?
