Nice blog! Just to answer your question ...Hi Sam! Nice blog! Just to answer your question about a "walk in the park" verses my blog "Bertrand Racing" commenting on the last day of racing. First of all, being from San Francisco I relish the heavy conditions. However, Steve was sailing in the Radial fleet with a smaller sail and was one of the bigger guys in his group. I had a few heavy weights to contend with on the last day and needed everything I could give to keep the pace upwind. So my struggle was not with the conditions but the competition. It was very gratifying to have such strong competition and finish up strong. I hope to see you in person this winter in Florida.<br /><br />All the best<br /><br />JBJohn Bertrandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12402686439995280946noreply@blogger.com
