Road To The Cup – Week 10 – Extended Race Week Edition

April 7, 2018July 28, 2014 by Kim Pandapas

As you know, there was no twilight racing Thursday night due to Race Week. Instead we were treated to Jennifer & Steve Uhl’s gracious hospitality, and by gracious, I mean completely over-the-top. How many sailing parties have you been to that had a champagne table? Jennifer defines graciousness – nobody does it better. Though now that I think of it, Steve ain’t so bad either and Thornton Uhl also served a drink or two, so I guess graciousness is a Uhl family tradition. Many thanks to all of them for again opening their home to us, and also to Elise Mazareas & Mike Nash for making sure we all got enough to drink.
