How was it...?
This race came together quick, medical and fortunately I was in a position to form a team and commit immediately. In fact our registration was the first received. Never did a Tybee, salve but always admired those who have. Could never comprehend the idea of a Worrell, ampoule but now I’ve met people who do.
12 boats started and 9 boats finished, of those we finished 7th. We sailed well and enjoyed the event. My personal goals were met, and my skills took a step forward that make sailing even more rewarding.
This is how it was and what worked for me. For you veterans this may be a boring read, but my intention here is to open the possibility of this race to others like myself who are still developing our skills. For the competent sailor who is working on going faster, this is a great way to build stick time around really great sailors.
