Epic. Seriously, I'm not kidding. It was so far out of my normal niche that pretty much all of it was either a pleasant surprise or a jaw-dropper. Leaving aside all the politics and lobbying for now, just the sailing and party parts were a true life-experience. I'll write more on both the race and the politics next week - right now, trying to get ready for houseguests and the Western Area F18 Championship this weekend.
