Easy drive to St. Petersburg for 4 days of sailing at ILCA Midwinters East. Would only manage 2 races on the first 3 days owing to lack of wind.
We were short on RC help, so I had to jump in and PRO rather than sail. Had a great turnout and a nice day for it.
Super light air day of racing on a staggered start course in the mouth of the Piankatank. Managed to finish before the time limit. Enjoyed plenty of oysters after racing.
Sailed the 2nd day of the FBYC Fall Open aboard J99 Battle Rhythm. It was a distance race out to the entrance of the Piankatank, south to buoy off Gwynn's Island and back.
Out for a day of practice aboard the J99 Battle Rhythm.

Wind was light for the weekend, but still had a good time as the event chair and a competitor this year. No wind on Sunday meant the two races on Saturday was all we got. Highilght for me was the 2nd place finish in the 2nd race (to couple with my 20 from the first race) in the 32-boat fleet. Alain's dinner was yummy and it was great hanging out and sailing with everyone who came to town.
