The first MIxed Plus J70 regatta was held in St Pete in the J70. We had 3 days of great racing and strong competition. This was my first regatta skippering the J70 and boooooy did I learn a lot! I loved it though and would do it again! A special thanks to my crew, Taz Coffey (boat owner), Peter Gibbons-Neff, and Marybeth Parkerson.

Approaching DMG Mori IMOCA when returning from a run to the container
Meeting one of my offshore idols, Pip Hare!
I had an incredible opportunity made possible by The Magenta Project to work with a professional IMOCA sailing team, DMG Mori Sailing Team, as they prepared for the Route du Rhum Race in Saint Malo, France. This time I was traveling to France for MYSELF and it was incredible. I was able to work with the technical team prepping the boat, making soft shackles, some carbonfiber work, worked on the foil cases, and got to know the team members and skipper. It was something I will never forget! My time on the water in France had to do with using the team rib to go back and forth from the IMOCA to the work container. And my final day, a nice harbor tour of the Ultims at moor before the delayed start.
I also had the incredible opportunity to meet an idol of mine, Pip Hare and take a tour of her IMOCA Medallia. She is incredibly sweet, determined, and strong. It was so cool to be able to talk with her and hear more about the successes and challenges she faces as a female in the male dominated IMOCA class.

With every good sailing campaign, there is a person that spends all of their freetime, time off of work, and money supporting their partner, and the past two years I have been lucky to give that support! This trip back to France was to welcome Peter Gibbons-Neff in his arrival after 1200nm solo racing back from the Azores. His 12 day race home was plagues with light winds and no power on board. I was lucky enough to ride out on the rib to welcome him and tow him into port(no one is allowed to sail in and out of the port).
After a good night's sleep, we headed out to deliver the boat back to La Trinite sur-Mer. A 24 upwine sail in 15-28 knots, shows that we as a team handle things well together.
Upon our arrival, we hauled the boat and then spent a couple of days doing end of season boat work and packed up the boat for the winter.
Then came my end of season reward, a nice vacation in France and a few days in Paris, which of course included a river boat tour on the Seine!
