A Second Win at Home
August 1st, 2007Our second regatta as a team was the Marblehead NOOD Regatta at Marblehead Race Week. Again we had the chance to test ourselves against 3 of the 4 US teams we need to beat in the US Paralympic Trials. Again, we came out on top.
At the awards ceremony, I cannot tell you how great it felt to win in my own hometown. The cheering was louder than I could ever remember and when I looked across the crowd, there were people there who knew me long before I broke my back and many of my Arts Festival friends who came out to help all the SKUD teams get off the dock each AM! Thanks also to the Viper Fleet who raised $2,500 for us in the Tinkers Challenge!
What made it even sweeter was to see so many of my fellow Jubilee Yacht Club members taking awards too!
