No Doubt that Rowells would be awesome. A little known fact is there is pretty good sized beach for launching on the South end of the lot.

All joking aside, the Keys folks are really worried about losing waterfront access. Who knows.., the Tourist Development Council has moocho millions that they don't want to spend, for some reason. They still owe me $9000 from two years ago and don't intend to let go of it.
But, maybe they would finance Rowells. Right!?!?!?!
I have always thought that Blackwater Sounds was one of the best. Founders is awesome as well, but doesn't have quite the expanse of water unless you go way out there.

Thoughts on next year's courses to make Bob Curry happy.
During those years when we were designing courses to make Olympics more observable (which never happened), one of the courses was a trapezoid.
So, I am going to work on designing such a course. The Spin boats and faster boats will sail the Orange Course again to the weather mark, then reach way off the to the left side of the course where they will have their own windward-leeward course, thence back to a finish line or a leeward mark to lee of the finish line.
The slower boats, i.e., H16s and Waves will sail the normal course on the Yellow Course.
Might even keep the RC Boat at the leeward end of the courses instead of the Modified Olympic setup

All in the thinking stage. By the way, Mike Hill lost his bow in the collision with the Wave, but Dave White could have lost his life. Dave says he did see it coming a couple of seconds before the collision and veered off as best he could to allow not quite so much of a t-bone. He was sitting up and saw the N20 coming, but he usually lies down and focuses on his telltales. Had he been doing so, he would have nailed in the head.
With spinnakers up, and flying a hull, there is not much vision to leeward of you. He or anyone else flying a hull and a spinnaker are flying blind to what is below them. No way to put a window in a spin either as it would be destroyed the first time you dropped it.

Anyway, some ramblings about next year.
