Ok, it’s race day, game on. If we have prepared well, we are ready. The gulf stream and weather are going to make this race more challenging than I remember in the past. There are so many “If” moments. If we can get to this point before the wind sifts, If we can stay in favorable current.
We hosted a crew dinner last night. This is a group with whom I have sailed with starting in 1969. Jack Cummiskey and I have sailed 3 transatlantics together, 5 Bermuda races, 2 Fastnets. Jack’s only problem is that he is way to smart. Great shipmate and friend.
