Cheerio Mates

I arrived in Cowes yesterday at 11:00 am after a red eye flight. I did catch 2 hours of sleep after I watched Die Hard with Urgency part 6. Pretty good film, except the script.

We're staying at the Royal Corinthian Yacht Club (that's British for fancy pub) and racing out the Royal Yacht Squadron (read: we're not propper enough to stay in the nice joint). Here's a link to site about Cowes and the clubs: http://www.cowes.co.uk/zonexml/index?cp=0-166-47-73. We start racing tomorrow (today's practice was blown out by 27 knots). Weigh in was this morning, we were 10 pounds over. After a 3 mile run and jumping jacks in foul weather gear, were were 1 pound under. 11 pounds in 2 hours by the three of us. Now I know how much 90 Guinness and 9 shots of tequilla weigh.

Hope all is well at the .ORG. Get more pictures posted, it's really cool to see the action.
