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

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.
