2025 ILCA Sunshine Open and District 11 Championships was certainly an eventful weekend. Four races on a fun trapezoid course on Saturday followed by a scary tow home during a hail storm. Sunday was beeeze on and I didn't make it to the race course but had a fun sail anyway.

We visited our friends in Fernandina Beach, FL for our southern road trip vacation. They gave us a cool tour of Cumberland Island, GA on board their pontoon powerboat, the Pau Hana. It is the ultimate Tiki bar vessel. Looking forward to our next visit to this special place!

With snow in the forecast we planned to haul the Key West on Saturday, Jan 4th. When we delivered the trailer we did discovered we had to postpone until the following day. But Saturday was a good faith intention, tides did not cooperate.

Jeff and I took an afternoon harbor cruise on the Key West to complete my 100 days. It was a sunny but windy ride but it was great to see all the people downtown enjoying the holidays. Yay! 100 days in 2024.

We had to pull Terrapin out of the slip to fuel up the diesel tank for the winter. So we took a lunch break harbor cruise as her last hurrah of the season. Time to break out the anti-freeze!

We blew up our dinghy and took her on one last voyage for 2024. We had a nice cruise to spectate the ILCA Fall Series and went to lunch at Beacon Restuarant. After that we washed and dried the boat and folded her up for the winter. Until next season, Spider!

We took Terrapin for our annual fall weekend cruise to Oxford. It was a long motor (no wind) on Friday. Saturday a strong cold front came though so we stayed put at anchor and explored town. We sailed home on Sunday. (Well we motored part of the way...). A great last voyage for Terrpain in 2024.
