<div>I double the thanks to the Santana Practice Day organizers and race committee: Frank, Cathy, Tom, Javier & the IYC!! It was a great day for sure - and I for one, learned that I have SO MUCH to learn! Great conditions, great company, incredible pot luck and we love our Tuna's!!</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I apologize again to my fellow racers for, barging, not giving way or responding to your gentle reminders for "room at the mark"! Seriously, I have to give room at the finish? That was my tactic to squeeze out StarKissed! The plan was for all of us new racers to become more confident, right?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>And the exciting sail home to Sausalito to top off the day! The bay gave us her typical spring day lumpy, bumpy & crew soaking conditions at Angel Island!!</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Can't wait to see you all on the water with promises not to intimidate! LOL!!</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks again everyone for a wonderful day!</div>
