This weekend Mariola attended the 24th Annual Morgan Invasion at The St. Pete Yacht Club at Pass-A-Grille. It was a decent event with about 14 boats turning out. The Saturday race began about 11:00 and Mariola finished sometime around 3:00. Winds were from the south and very light in the a.m. This made the first, downwind leg slow going. Around noonish the wind picked up and came around to the Southwest. This made for a great close hauled second leg and beam/close reach on the final third leg. Mariola placed third in her class – which I think was made up of 5 boats. It was tight for the top 3 spots – with only 45 seconds between first and third place.
Special thanks to Antony of Bliss, Ross_in_Tampa and CannonBall for crewing on Saturday. Great job and I really appreciate it fellas – had a great time.

Great shots and great memories. Hope you got your trophy. They were just getting started with dinner when we went back. Let’s do it again next year!
