St. Louis, MO, | Steeplechase is the distance race.
Tradewinds is a bouy race.
3 days gives them flexability if weather is bad.

Orlando, FL | I recall you stating you wouldn't do another distance race solo .... I suppose it's like having a baby .... time fades all the pain!

Orlando, FL |  I think it's more like running a marathon (not that I ever have or will). There is a sense of accomplishment in just finishing that dulls the pain. pgp, I've run many marathons and trust me the pain is REAL.

Perfect opportunity to distance without pain. You actually need to do a couple before people will take these posts seriously.  | | | Re: tradewinds

Memphis, TN | What do you mean by "SORT OF" ? You went around 129 to channel marker 131 didn't you? Didn't you go between the committee boat and the pin end? If that's the case, YOU DID JUANA'S!

| They probably should add a minimum finish time.

Nope, Have Andy double stack your boat to GC...leave it in FL and come back for Steeplechase...leave it again and come back for Tradewinds ... then have Andy double stack it back. You fly back and forth and save lots of time!

Syracuse, NY Hobie Fleet 204 | I have done something similar to that quite a few times. Once with the I 20, twice with the Tiger and once with the F31!! It is well worth the sailing experience. Do it! Do it! Do it!
