I will check it out. Distance racing sounds like it would be a blast.

Distance racing in florida (and really anywhere on the gulf too) can be very exciting when the weather gets wild (which is every afternoon in warm months)...

Do they have daily rains down there?

we have daily hurricanes! jk but yes, on the gulf side (tampa area) we usually get thunderstorms that start around 4 pm. they start inland when the eastern sea breeze and western collide and then march back to sea.
but with all the heat and humidity - they can happen at any time of day and they can get very serious quickly. I have been caught in a bunch of lightning storms (no fun with a 30' mast) and been in 40+knot wind.
you feel VERY alive when you survive them - but i still would prefer to avoid them

Weather has been great for the first three days, today could get dicey but we might get lucky.
