Yesterday I sent out email to some former advanced sailing
students. I was curious if any of them
might be interested in chartering a boat with which to participate in this year’s
Bone Island Regatta. That’s the annual
race in May that starts near St Petersburg and finishes in Key West, about 220
nautical miles away.
There were some quick responses to my email,
followed by a couple of phone conversations.
I was amazed and delighted that within just a few hours I’d pulled it
together. I have an entry in the
event. Former students of mine will
charter one of our new boats – a Jeanneau 50DS – for a week long
adventure: participate in the race to
Key West (and with that boat we’d better finish well up I the standings!),
enjoy the post-race festivities, then cruise on back to St Petersburg. How can that not be fun?
Now I wonder – might I also be able to pull together
a crew to participate in a two week adventure? - the annual race to Isla Mujeres,
Mexico at the end of April?
