Lindsay and I about to round the windward mark.
One of the starts. Photos courtesy of SarrahhhI returned back to Florida on December 26th. From Jamie's house I drove down to Miami and relaxed in Coconut Grove with some of my friends who were there for the Orange Bowl Regatta.
On the 28th, my friend Lindsay and I drove up to Jensen Beach, FL for the 2007 Vanguard 15 Midwinters. 57 of the nation's top college sailors descended upon Jensen Beach to compete in this event. Lindsay and myself competed in the fleet racing part of the regatta. We finished in a disappointing 51st. We raced the best we could but we could only muster a 29th as our best finish. There were many other talented sailors who finished near us and we were mixing it up with the best sailors in the fleet in several races. We just could not manage to stay in a good position. This was likely due to my lack of experience in big fleets and that Lindsay and I had never sailed together before.
We had lots of fun and sailed the best we could. That is all that matters! Right?
I chartered my boat out for the team racing section and hung out with a large contingent of my college sailing team that came down for the event.
After the event I took off for Tampa to spend the next 2 weeks with my friend Angela until the Tradewinds Regatta.
