Too CCCold!!!

Too cold this weekend for the mighty Eightball to set sail. The squadron hosted a midwinter regatta for several classes this past weekend. We fully intended to sail but with temps dipping into the low 60s it was just too unbearable for our thinned blood to stand. We did partake of the Shrimp Boil which was fantastic.

Eightball Wins Again.

Last weekend saw the end of the winter sailing series at the Sarasota Sailing Squadron. We managed to clinch the winter series with a third place in our last race. We have really had a great time racing this winter. The weather has been fantastic. The group of sailors is reallly top notch. Every week someone new manages to eke out ahead and usually the finishes are bang bang bang and depend on who gets the last shift. This weekend is an invitational regatta with several fleets joining for their midwinter championships. Should be a lot of fun with sea stories and a big shrimp boil on Saturday eve.
AJ is accepted at Florida Southern College for next fall. She is really looking forward to begining the college experience. It will be the first year that AJ and Mia will be at the same school together in all their years!
Sailing is good, golf is good, work is good, school is good, family is good. That about covers it.
