TEAM ADRENALIN: 12/6/09 - 12/13/09
http://usa642.blogspot.com/2009_12_06_archive.html
Saturday, December 12, 2009. KL Steeplechase Day 1. Typed this initially really quickly Saturday night, i've made a couple edits. Day 1 of the 2009 Key Largo Steeplechase tarted out high teens, puffs of just over 20 maybe. From the start we were tight double trapped reaching to the Card Sound bridge, ripping along at 20-25 knots. We even got a great show of an F16 pitchpoling in front of us. We entered the ocean and jib reached for a while in 12-15 with puffs a bit higher, averaging speeds in the mid to ...

Tuesday, December 15, 2009. KL Steeplechase Day 2. For the third year in a row the Key Largo Steeplechase provided ideal conditions. Temperatures in the high 70's low 80's both days and 10-20 knots all weekend, I knew there was a reason we made this journey down there every winter! I had the mainsheet in my hand but somehow it got wrapped around my ankle, dragging me at 10 knots (painful! We got into Channel 5 put our rudders down and gybed. We sailed past Randy Smyth who's crazy homemade trimaran ha...

TEAM ADRENALIN: We made it to Daytona
http://usa642.blogspot.com/2010/05/we-made-it-to-daytona.html
Thursday, May 13, 2010. We made it to Daytona. Not in quite the best placing as we have been the last few days, but not too bad, 12th place. It was really ideal Nacra 20 conditions with light winds upwind and dead downwind and a low jib reach around the exclusion zone that was too low for us to carry our spinnakers. We battled it out all day with Team Pepod, the other F18 Infusion and ended up being them by 9:59, for the first time so far this race. Tomorrow we are off to Fernandina, one of my favorite s...

TEAM ADRENALIN: 10/24/10 - 10/31/10
http://usa642.blogspot.com/2010_10_24_archive.html
Friday, October 29, 2010. Well I don't even know where to start! I apologize for not having updated since the Tybee. I'm not going to go into too much detail about each event, mainly because it would take a month, but also there really isn't too much spectacular to write about. It was a boring season dominated by light to medium air. I can't wait until they start racing on the national level. Our spinnaker exploded, almost 10 feet down on each side. We sailed the last 15 miles with it hanging from th...

TEAM ADRENALIN: 6th place again into Cocoa Beach
http://usa642.blogspot.com/2010/05/6th-place-again-into-cocoa-beach.html
Wednesday, May 12, 2010. 6th place again into Cocoa Beach. The day started off with a launch through pretty big breaking surf but perfect wind to get through it flawlessly. We started off double trap 2 sail reaching and eventually the wind shifted allowing us to put the spinnaker up and sail single trapezed. At these angles, for the first half of the leg the 20's were at an advantage and we lost a couple of them. Todd Riccardi and Brendon Scanlon.

Thursday, January 21, 2010. Photo courtesy of www.racebook-us.com. We've finally recuperated from the drive north and am finally able to sit down to summarize our experience at the Tradewinds /F18 Midwinters this past weekend. The rest of the fleet found ourselves in tight battles, we may as well have tied a 10' line between us and several other boats because that's about the most separation we saw the entire race! We will definitely be taking part in another one of their clinics in the future.

TEAM ADRENALIN: Finished the 2010 Tybee 500!
http://usa642.blogspot.com/2010/05/finished-2010-tybee-500.html
Monday, May 17, 2010. Finished the 2010 Tybee 500! Leg 6 from Fernadina. Was a pretty rough one for us, we finished 10th for the leg but didn't get done what we needed to. We were running with the leaders well for the first 5-10 miles and ahead of Team Pepod. Whom we needed to beat by around 15 minutes to move up in the standings. After the start we were just ahead of Team Pepod. 500com you will see what we realized 3 hours later as a pack of 5 or so boats including Pepod. You jibed into shore your vmg.

Saturday, May 8, 2010. After spending the whole day working on the boat in 90 degree heat and little wind, it is a relief to be sitting down in an air conditioned room! The scene at the Islander is very cool with a bunch of 20's and 4 F18s including 2 new designs the Hobie Wildcat being sailed by one of the top F18 sailors in the world and a AHPC C2, also being sailed by a pro sailor from Europe (though with American roots). We are certainly going to have our work cut out or us. Sunday, May 2, 2010.

TEAM ADRENALIN: 3/28/10 - 4/4/10
http://usa642.blogspot.com/2010_03_28_archive.html
Sunday, March 28, 2010. Spring Training Day 1 and 2. Despite having sailed in FL just 2 months ago, we quickly got a bit antsy to get back out on the water. We need to thank our friend Malcolm for allowing us to store our boat in his basement for the harshest winter months and thanks to our friend Ernie for doing some amazing boat work at an amazing rate. We had a 2 hour shake-down sail this past Thursday which was highlighted by me going for a swim when I went out the trap without being hooked in!
