Yes it is....

From the incomparable Molly Baxter:

Is this the same Molly Baxter that sails on the Rima2 and is married to John Baxter?

Bow guys wearing harnesses on 32ft sprit boats? Really? Did I stumble into the J105 Gold Cup?

We had some technical issues with the live feed, but the cocktail hour was awesome. Check back in a bit and we'll post it here.

LMAO! Sailing 101 for fucksake!

Sorry about that, the entire 50 minute talk show is compressing now so we can stream it, it was really a fun conversation about the ISAF Classification Code and how the amateur/pro distinction operates, and maybe how it should...

Guest list was the best damned amateurs I could find:

Jonny Goldsberry (49er Olympic hopeful, BrickHouse alum, Roxanne)
Sarah Calahan (Star)
Curtis Florence (M24, F40, F30 World Champ, Leenabarca)
Bernard Fitzpatrick (TP52 Patches, Barbarians)
Jeremy Wilmot (M32 World Champ, here on Celeritas)
Bora Gulari (Moth World Champ, M24 Simplicity, Star)

Most enjoyable coverage Alan. Thanks. And to the delightful Mer, these are some of the best photos I've seen you post. Wow. Double thanks. Looking forward to the rest of the regatta. Makes the stupidity of living in the NE for the winter a bit more bearable.

The Cocktail Hour we did experienced some technical difficulties. The Good Rev is in a snowdrift back home, fixing my shitty camera skillls. It will be WELL worth the wait, I can promise you that.

New day starting. Breeze on. Sun on. Life is good. At least one pair of Kaenons and one Ultimate Sailing Calendar are coming your way today...but you have to earn it!

Contest details are here in the new thread.

Thank you so much. I can't stop wondering why you aren't here, it doesn't feel the same without you...
