Congrats to Julio and Troy! I bet a lot of dust flew off of Julio during that first upwind on Day 1! LOL!

It is a great feeling to be 4 boats from the leeward mark downwind, look back right before you pull the rig back and pole down, and see 30-40 Star boats behind you. Unfortunately, that experience for me has been brief but really wonderful the couple times it has happened.

Keep up the great work, guys. It's great to see locals doing well in such an event.
