Heading back from Mackinac Island to Chicago. I got to go to the island as part of race committee for this year's Chicago to Mackinac race, which was incredible. Thanks racetomackinac for having me - here's to the first of many. More photos to come after I figure out my next move on the trip home! #cycrtm

We took a layover day in Sheboygan waiting for more favorable wind conditions on the return delivery, so I took a few minutes to process some of the photos centered around the crew work on Skye during the #cycrtm racetomackinac

It’s summer in Chicago and that means the 114th Race to Mackinac! We are racing Jasmin again to defend our title, again (a three-peat?). Unlike the stormy (and fast) race of last year, this looks to be a slow race (read: lots of sun, little wind). It’s a good thing we all like each other on the crew! Follow us as we work our way north from Chicago… start time is today at 3:10. Hope to arrive by Monday. Tracking for this year’s race is available on the web. View Race Tracker https://yb.tl/chicagomac2023 For the best experience on your mobile device (iOS or Android), download the free YB Races app. For those of you who have followed us in the past, just open you app and find the CYC Race 2023 and search for Jasmin in the Cruising Division. Thanks for cheering us on! #CYCRTM

Rough Waters. This afternoon on Lake Michigan for the Race To Mackinac
The Chicago Race to Mackinac has begun, and he's cheering them on. Since 1921, the Race to Mackinac has run consecutively every year, remains the longest annual freshwater distance race, and is recognized as one of the most prestigious sailing races in the world. Today, sailors from Maine to California make this race an invariable part of their summer. Moreover, each year, the Mac hosts sailors from as far off as Hong Kong, New Zealand, and Australia. Although the Mac remains primarily an amateur event, this race has a proven track record of attracting some of the finest sailing talent in the sport.
