After a good weeks training in Clearwater I had an easy day before racing. The first day kicked off with some great sailing, Strong winds and big waves. I was a little slow to start in the first Race but scored a 3 1 1 for the day which I was more than pleased with. Day two saw a lighter fighting sea breeze which lead to a long frustrating day and an OCS!!!!
The fleets were then split in to gold and silver with about 40 boats in each I was a little keen over the line again in the first race but went on to win the second. On the final day after a bit of a wait the breeze came in after winning the first race I followed it up with a second.
It was good to get racing again in my Laser and apart from a few bits of rust from the rest period all seemed good.
Im off back to Miami now ready to join Team RED for the Miami Grand Prix on the Melges. It should be fun and the weather is warming up!!!!!!

Well I was expecting a little more warmth from Florida!!!!! After a few days at home it was back out to the sunshine state…… well supposed to be, its been less than 10 degrees for the last week out here. The weather aside it has been great to get back in my Laser and start training again.

I am pretty surprised how well my body has survived the week, no holes in my hands and feeling not too bad considering Ive just done 7 days on the water, dont get me wrong I am pretty tired.

The training has been really good with up to 30 boats out each day here in Clearwater, the wind has been good and the waves have been awesome the last few days. I am looking forward to doing some racing this weekend.

Next week I head back down to Miami for some riding before Miami SORC where I will be joining the Melges 32 team Red for what should be another great week of racing.
