Friday starts what I am calling a year of ___. Well, I haven't come up with a name for it yet, but I will.
This is the first step. A sailboat race from St. Pete to Isla Mujeres, Mexico. It is the 52nd running of this race, sponsored by the St Pete Yacht Club.
Friday at 10am, we cross the start line near the pier. For a 500nm race across the Gulf. Blue water sailing after leaving Egmont Key off the stern. 3 nights, maybe 4, depending on the wind, but it is forecast to be blowing. 6-person crew, 24x7 racing...no, you don't stop at night.
Onboard the Split Decision, Hylas 53', Captianed by John Hamm - who has circumnavigated our blue planet.
Some may recall I was going to do the St. Anthony's Tri Sprint..the same weekend, but when invited to partake in this, the decision wasn't hard.
Join Us For The 52nd Running of the International Race to Mexico!
