Jon in front of Virginia Eye after LASIK

Today I had a very successful LASIK surgery.  I have a nice break before the sailing season starts and I’m looking forward to going sailing and not having to deal with contacts/glasses.

Fishing Bay Yacht Club‘s Laser Frostbite Regatta was the last sailing event of the year for the club and the last sailing event of the year for me as well.  We had nice winds about 5-8 out of the north east.  It was cool, but sunny and comfortable with a full set of layers on.  Having not sailed the Laser in 6 weeks I was pretty inconsistent on the water today.  Won 3 races, but wound up 3rd after some deep finishes were factored in.  Kudos to Ron Thompson and Michael Moore who both put up top 3 finishes in every race to finish first and second.  It was a great day of racing and it was nice having the Hampton Roads sailors come join us.

Results are here.

With that event my sailing for 2011 is complete.  I finished the year having sailed 54 days.  Up 5 days from last year.

On Saturday ECU played Southern Miss at home.  This week we were without JG and the RV so we tailgated old school on the back of an actual pick up truck.  It reminded us of how good we normally have it and how much appreciate JG bringing the RV.

The game started out with a bang, but went downhill quickly.  We even had a streaker at the end of halftime.  We lost the game, but all in all it was a fun day at the game.
