Miami OCR - Day 1 Skip Dieball


After spending the weekend in New Orleans at the US Sailing Symposiums, I arrived late Sunday to Miami, which made for an early first day of the OCR.


I'm working again with Geoff Ewenson, who turned in a decent day with a 14,11. The Finn group that traveled to Miami this year make up many of the top 25 spots in the ISAF rankings. For that reason, the entire make up of the US Sailing Team selection points will be interesting to watch as the week progresses. The top Finnster after combining Pre-Trials, Miami OCR & Ft. Lauderdale will go to the Olympic Test Event in China, and the top three guys will go to the combinded World Championships in Portugal later this year.


It was an interesting day as a front moved out but we still had a significant cloud cover. These clouds produced some steady winds, albeit with some oscillations.


Here are some shots from today:
