It was an amazing day but pretty crazy wind with big shifts, lulls and gusts. The sky was blue, bathing suit weather and the dolphins were on the course. The starting line was pretty close to the shoal but a great blue heron stood on the shoal all day to remind us not to sail where the birds are standing. Can't beat 80's at Christmas. We don't need no stinkin' snow.
Here are some old pics from other fleet racing this season.
