Jan. 23 - Ready for OCR

We are all ready for the Miami Olympic Classes Regatta which begins tomorrow morning with an 11 am start. We have had a great week training with our new training group; learning and improving on our starting and acceleration techniques as well as continuing to work on our boat handling. We also did a ton of boatwork, as in keeping with the 470. The boat is ready to go and after a day off today so are we!

Today I slept in and then cycled to the Fairchild Tropical Gardens with Sanni and Tina. There was a chocolate festival at the gardens so along with the many different types of palm and fruit trees there were vendors with free chocolate samples! It was a fun relaxing afternoon and we are now gathered in the living room reading our Sailing Instructions and getting ready for tomorrow morning.
