Fair winds and following seas (at least on the return leg you might have following seas! )

I am quite envious as I have had to give up dreams of racing in so august an endeavor. My various body parts don't hold up so well anymore, but I would dearly love to crank on a Lewmar as the skipper shouts commands and the spray comes over the bow.

I see you're in a fast boat; we will be following your progress with bated breath.

Vaya con Dios.
