The Finish

It was a great finish for Azure. We coved the 2070 miles in 13days 22 hours and 39 minutes. We were able to finish 1st in class and 1st in PHRF which was huge honor. On top of that we also captured the team trophy between Azure, Duende and Surprise for the best Yacht Club combined score. Azure was part of the winning team in 2008, the first year it was awarded. It will be nice to see the three bronze dolphin trophy return to Encinal Yacht Club.
It is very cool to meet the other boats and discuss our race strategy. Very few people believed that going way north was going to work, but we proved them wrong. Every so often the path less travelled results in a victory!
Cheers,
