A few shots from our commute out to the start line for the Wirth Munroe Race, Port Everglades to Haulover Inlet.

Break out your Gore Tex tuxedo and a towel, it’s time for another race tomorrow. This time the it’s the Wirth Munroe Race and there’s a nice northerly building over the Gulf Stream in the forecast (again) to make this 60-miler another trip thru the car wash on our #class40, Velocity.

Finished the race yesterday in 18 hours and 22 minutes, pretty decent for ~200 sailing miles. Top speed I saw was 23.5 knots. Wet, windy and COLD conditions that made for some spectacular sailing. Here’s a few seconds of me driving.

We’re locked and loaded for the Sailor’s Choice Race on #class40 Velocity tomorrow. It’s a 166 nm race course starting and finishing in FLL, out to the Bahamas and back via Miami. Sporty conditions in the forecast, should be a pretty quick and lumpy race! #sailing

Sizing up the competition in FLL. Race day tomorrow!

Good news for race day on Thursday: no hurricane in the forecast.
Less good news: northerly breeze will be making the 2 Gulf Stream crossings on the race course extra sporty.

Race day forecast (for the SORC Sailor’s Choice Race) currently looking much more survivable, that’s a relief.

If I’ve gotta go sailing in a hurricane at least my freshly painted rudders are shiny!

Caught Comet A3 on Friday night. Dimmer than I thought it would be but it showed up nicely on the camera despite being right in the light dome of a nearby town.

Saw it here in Annapolis too (looking south!)

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #66,221!

And I thought I was fancy when my twitter user # was under 10M!

Ah, to live the blissful life of a LinkedIn Trust & Safety team member. Same email outreach across N different accounts that have changed their account details in the last month after being dormant for years? All good, no policy violation here!
