Just watched a boat try to leave the dock with his forward spring line still attached.
Not pretty!

Key West Race Week '08 - A new day

Good morning from Key West!! Sorry for the lack of info yesterday.
Yesterdays results were ultimately not impressive. But...from my point of view we sailed better than I expected and am pleased that we may do better.
All finishes were close and we sailed around in the middle of the B fleet. We just finished in the back of that crowd. Race 3 was a great finish with 90 percent of the boats finishing in about 30 seconds.
Sunny, very light today. We will see....

Today's Winds off Key West


Key West Race Week '08 - No race today!

The fleet rushed out at 1130 with the belief that the winds were dying. Seemed that way on the way out, but once in the starting area the breeze quickly built to low 30s and some said low 40s. So...5 min after we arrived, we we heading back in and the day was cancelled. We reefed the main and lined up with a couple of sisterships on the way in. At least we learned a bit....

Key West Race Week '08 - Nap Time

RC to update us in 15 min. Still blowing a steady 30 outside. My guess is we have yet another day off.
How will I fill the time??

Key West Race Week '08 - Day #1: Postponed until at least 11am

Still very windy this am. 25 gusting to 35 on the race course so all boats remain firmly tied to the dock. RC says one race at most today.
