When the going gets tough…the tough get going on a 90 mile downwind sleigh ride from St. Martin to Virgin Gorda

So…things have been pretty “sporty” in Swizzle-land recently. And the manic pace shows no signs of slowing up now. Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m not complaining, but I will admit that my ribs still hurt from my attempt at “obstacle course running” and working out with the OracleTeamUSA guys in Bermuda last week.

And as if that wasn’t “sporty” enough, of course we’re neck deep into a home improvement project back at Swizzle World Headquarters, the little one has been sick, and oh yea…we’ve been in a bidding war for the house of our dreams.

So I really mean it when I say “When the going gets tough…..”

Airplanes are the only place I get any rest lately. I just arrived in St. Martin for a quick downwind jaunt on a Jeanneau 64 down to Virgin Gorda. And I’ve just enjoyed the ZEE BEST almond croissant I’ve ever had.

But maybe I can nap on board.
