i would totaly be up for it, but it was my dad, the captain, who didnt wanna do the race this year…
my hopes are that i’ll be doin newport bermuda race '08, i sailed on the way back this year which got pretty rough the last few days w/ gusts of 30 knots and 15 foot rollers from behind, and i feel pretty comfortable on a boat for that long. I’ll be 18 next race also, which is the legal drinkin age down there 
also, if you ever are lookin for some extra crew on your boat i’d love to get out w/ a feller OKP’er!
