Key West Race Week January 19-25 2008

Eric is on board Devante's Dream along with a full crew running an S2 7.9 in the PHRF Division. There are six of us all together myself, Mike Elliot, Scott, Maust, Tony Millan, La Schreiner and Heather Bissell. All but Tony are from Michigan and have sailed together for a long time. Mike is skipper, Scott is headsail, Tony is mainsail, La is pit, Heather is bow and I worked the mast.



We've had a great time although the wind has not been cooperating. For instance, today we're fishing from the dock as there is no wind and thick fog. The first day of racing was too windy and rough, though we did bob around out there for about an hour or so until they called it. Tuesday we got three races in and finished 5th out of 11. Not bad but the wind was too much for us, we're rigged for light air.



Wednesday's forcast was right in our wheelhouse as far as wind was concerned but it died down to0 much and they cancelled racing. Ugh! We were leading! Last night we had a great steak dinner on board DD.





Now today is the fishing, but we hope to be able to get our this afternoon and get at least one race in.
