The Calm Before Acura Key West

It's beautiful in Key West. A touch cooler, solid breeze and much quieter than normal.

There were a few folks out practicing...


The docks look as they should with gear stacked and dockboxes in place...


There was not a massive amount of "boat bimbling"...


I hiked around Truman Annex and it was a ghost town for now. There were maybe four Farr30s on the hard, a J105 and a couple of Melges 24s lingering with a few peeps meandering about. It is after all, only Friday and many will magically appear overnight.

With a quick visit to Race HQ the word is a rise in the serious sailors and a serious down turn in those who seek out events like Acura Key West as their holiday. It's sad to not have as many this year, though on the flip we are expecting some solid competition and tight racing...

More to come tomorrow ~ cheers!
