3rd Place Finish in America's Regatta

December 9, 2011
TeamUCan2 finished 3rd in the SKUD 18 fleet at the America's Regatta in St. Pete, Florida.   Jen and JP from the USA topped the fleet while Alex and Niki from Britian came in second.  View the complete results at:
 
Most teams have now moved one and half hours south to Pt Chalotte, Florida to continue training for the IFDS Worlds which takes place in January.   It's an interesting place built on many canels.  The weather has been quite comfortable in the 70s and 80s, expect for Wednesday evening when a cold front brought high winds and temperatures near freezing.  Fortunately the cold fronts are short lived around here and it's back to shorts weather.
 
Yesterday John and I had a good training session with the Americans and Brits.  We had good speed and are  now working on consistancy.  That is key for us.
