J 80 Nationals R.C. Volunteer (Medic on the Water)

The J80 Nationals were held on the Chesapeake Bay - EYC event.  

I volunteered as Medic on the Water (as a member of the Race Committee).  I was on the water all day Friday, 10/1 and Saturday 10/2.  I went out on a very nice Key West Center Console powerboat and really enjoyed watching the event.

Fortunately, we did not have any need to assist any sailors with medical needs during the regatta. 

I was able to have my physician neighbor (retired Air Force) assist on Sunday in my absence since I was racing my DS that day in Day 2 of our Fall Invitational.  

What a wonderful regatta!  I had been scheduled to race in the regatta and yet since light winds were predicted John Taylor and Eunice Lin (J80 Vitesse) chose to race with a total of four on board rather than five.  Having the opportunity to get out and help and watch was a perfect way to participate.
