We are so proud of Alan and Trey, sailing as Team Velocity in the Tybee 500 catamaran race this past week. With an awesome 2nd place finish in yesterdays leg, and a 5th place overall finish (first in the silver fleet who took penalties for not sailing the Jupiter Beach leg, and not for lack of trying). Only 7 of the original 13 boats even finished the race this year, with 2 dropping out during the last leg, a particularly hard (10-12 ft seas) and long leg (115 miles).
And, it even looks like Alan got in some training for the MR340 paddling race (July 24-28) during the sailboat race.
That's actually more than I've been getting in lately. Only 8 more weekends of training left. It's time I start putting in some real training miles in my Kruger.
