Sunday - Completed 1st practice day

SUNDAY, 31-July-2011: Tampa, Florida
Sunday was a day of practice and bonding with teammates. We started the day by meeting in the lobby and scaring some of the other teams with our strength and poise (or was that pose) ? Hmmm? Anyway, you read Michelle & Vassar's accounts of the festival racers cheering us as we walked through the crowd. It was truly an uplifting and yet humbling experience. I even signed a couple auto-graphs. That felt ... odd!

Thunder and lighting came through so we waited patiently for practice and finally got out on the water. Tonight Senior A women did a team dinner. We sat in groups of 10 and worked on getting to know each other. Tonight I sat with Wendy from Wisconsin, Lynn from Pittsburgh, Jackie and Annette from San Diego and then Vassar, Christine (Bridge City) and Barb Wells. Very good day! :)

Oh, and last night there was a wedding in the hotel. Today we stole the groom ... just for a minute though ... for this picture! :)

From Tampa Florida...
