Day 3 Report from Miami Olympic Class Regatta

Dear Carmella, 

Team Captain Hook had modest success today with a 5th place finish in the
first race, which started late after an onshore postponement.  The 2nd race
of the day was abandoned due to high winds and thunderstorms.  The fifth
place finish was good enough to maintain the 2nd place position in the
regatta overall.

The top three teams were required to wear special "bibs" or "pennies" to
distinguish them on the race course.  As the second place boat, Team Captain
Hook members (l to r, David Burdette, Mike Hersey and Bert Foster) wore
these fashionable blue pullovers with the number "2".

Bo's'n Ernie Brody continues to make improvements to the rigging and
equipment; his loyal assistant, Stephanie Brody, spent today's postponement
time working on her own boat enhancement projects, and also got her kayak in
the water.  Team "Mom" Carmella Foster spent the last two days on the Race
Committee boat, running the flags and recording finishes.  The team
continues to appreciate Carmella's fine lunches.

Two days of racing remain.  We expect that, at the end of the regatta, Team
Captain Hook will be named to the United States Sailing Team AlphaGraphics
for 2011. 

It is an honor to sail with the best disabled sailors from around the world.
All of the competitors have overcome great obstacles in their lives to be
able to get in a boat and race because that is their passion and the thing
that brings great joy and meaning to their lives.  We feel that way too.
Hopefully, our pursuit of a Paralympic dream will inspire others to follow
their dreams as well.  You can be part of the experience by supporting Team
