The Leukemia Cup Regatta

Last Sunday, Carey completed his goal of learning how to sail and competing in the Leukemia Cup Regatta, all while fundraising for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Go Carey! His boat (sail #212) led his division for the majority of the race, only to be passed at the finish line when their boat hit an area where there was no wind. :(

Other highlights of my day on the observer boat included meeting 1998 Olympic ski champion, Jonny Moseley, and seeing the monstrous Maltese Falcon sailing the SF Bay.
