Says Ken Davy, "With the weather forecasting perfection for the beginning of March, my son Konrad and I threw our Lasers in the water and sailed for about an hour." The winds were out of the west, rising at times to 10 knots. The 8C temps and bright sun made for some easy sailing......

People that I had beaten at the Orange Bowl Regatta the month before were 20 to 30 places in front of me. I took a few days off after that, and then got a good pep talk from John Bertand, a former World Champion in Lasers and one of the best all around sailors in America......

He is sailing in the yellow fleet of the qualifying series with Rasmus Myrgren and Paul Goodison (3rd and 2nd respectively in the overall standings). Nick Thompson is in the Blue fleet. His scores in the first three races, run on Thursday, scored him two fours and a three. Nicely done......

Less guys show up. A lot of the good guys go home to run their businesses. Some go home to rest. It means a few less competitors, but better chances to do well......

The guys are impressed. What they don't know is that I get a chance to make all my early season mistakes down here, in Florida. If the number of my mistakes is in inverse proportion to my results in the spring, all I can say it, look out Ontario Masters......

There are six sailors coming so far, but there is still room for a few more.
