In the mean time...

A lot has happened since my last entry:

• Finished the Moth Worlds in Belmont, Australia
• Flew straight from Sydney to Key West for Key West Race Week on the Melges 32 Heartbreaker with Bob Hughes

 

• Up to  Miami to coach Annie Haeger and Briana Provancha (470 Womens) at Miami OCR
• Back to San Diego for one week of picking up my life, surfing, paying bills
• Returned to Miami for the 2nd Melges 20 Winter Series Regatta
• Crossed the State over to St. Pete for the St. Pete NOOD on "Matros"

 

• Back to Miami to coach 49ers

 

• Blew out my back on the coach boat
• Raced the Melges 32 "Delta" with Terry Hutchinson at the Miami  Championship (more great pictures can be found here!)

 

• Finally took a deep breath

Currently I'm still in Miami, getting ready for the Bacardi Race Week where once again I'll be sailing on board Michael Kiss' Melges 20 "Bacio. After our 5th place at the last Winter series regatta we are keen on getting back on top of the pack. The whole fleet has stepped it up and racing has gotten a lot tougher. Good, because it wouldn't be fun if it were easy!
In the mean time Dani Gamache and I wrote a cool article about upwind sailing for the Melges 20 website.
