We took some time off this morning (I know, gasps all around) and walked out to the end of The Pier to watch the start of the St Petersburg Yacht Club's Regatta Del Sol Al Sol (that's spanish for 'from the sun, to the sun'). It's a sailboat race from the SPYC to Isla Mujeres, off Cancun, Mexico. It's 400 miles and takes from 3 to 9 days, depending on
the winds. It was a spectacular day, clear, sunny, sparkling. The wind was noticeably missing, though, and it was a slow start.

Don and Laurie, great to meet you,too, you'll soon be following in our wake. Keep in touch.
Chris and Anne, You know Steve,
he just can't seem to stay on track and get anything done, I always have to be cracking the whip. Luckily, he likes that sort of thing.
I had a hard time finding this site, but finally got it figured out. Hang on to the face masks I saw you wearing in one of the photos! It was hard for me to recognize you in one of the photos until I realized that you are now blonde! You're heading to Maine? My sister Cindy lives there. I will keep checking on your progress! Colin
Fabulous pelican picture! SO cool! You guys deserve a break.
Steve and Lynn, you two are so lucky. Its been along time, good luck with your adventures. Steve, your ambition with things like this boat re-build started when you re-built that 240Z I think....I will be watching you....Patrick S.

Patrick S. as in VCSC 1979? WoW! Costa Rica is a maybe...we've actually considered Rio for a significant B-Day in Jan of 2001.
