when the site comes up, there will be a search bar in the top right hand corner of the screen. Type in "The Business", without the "" obviously. The Pictures that say 2007 under them are pictures from the Audi Regatta when I was on the Melges 32! They're really good pictures! The regatta was incredible! There was a massive T-Bone collision on the first day right after the start. We were really close to it. Spin hallyards were falling off, boats were sailing with their keels out of the water, we were so fast downwind compared to the other boats. There must have been 2,000 boats out there it was spectacular.

Monday night Twilight races, I got to steer the boat on the way home with the spinnaker up (that big while thrid sail out in front of the boat in the picture you sent me. There were rumors going around the boat that Vaughn, the skipper is going to call me up this summer when the boat is in Newport, RI for a huge regatta. That would be insanity.
