Road trip

Last Friday I was chatting with One-Design guru Greg Fisher as he was beginning a road trip from Annapolis, MD to the J/22 Midwinters in Houston, TX. I was teasing Greg that when the Thomas Guide comes out with their annual updates, they likely check with him for advice.

Greg drives a lot. Greg is from Columbus, Ohio, where he ran his very successful Shore Sails one-design loft for years, and traveled much of the country with either a Thistle, Snipe, Highlander, or Flying Scot trailing behind. For Greg to do business, he was constantly on the road, and has seen more than one Suburban odometer lap around.

He is now in Annapolis with North Sails, and this week we will join him on his trip to the J/22 Midwinters. Greg will provide Scuttleblog his commentary, which begins with a stop through the ravaged gulf states on his way to the regatta. Look for updates to come. - Craig Leweck
