Remember Tradewinds last year...I am born, raised and still live in South Florida. I remember standing on the Dock at Rowells Marina on Friday evening, 20 knots of 40 degree wind hitting me on the nose (and the fin) then making a mad dash for West Marine to get some foulies for me and crew. 12 hours and $400 later we were heading for the starting line and fairly warm. What a great day of sailing!

Lips and nose took a beating, but everything else was fine. So, if you have the equipment and the desire, SAIL ON ! YEE FREAKIN' HAAAAAWWWWWW!
