OK, that is all folks.  I hope this reaches its intended target - the sailors of the midwest.  It was a treat to be in Key west under sunny skies in 80 degree temps.  Key West was great, but in my opinion the best racing in the world is in the great lakes.  It is my intention to make Lake Michigan into the best venue for racing in the world.  It is an awesome body of water that is totally under-utilized as a destination for sailors!!  See you on the race course.
