I could roll out of bed and know that the biggest decision of the day was deciding on watching the races on CCTV or on the water!

You have my greatest respect for hanging in there as it must have been painful. Having raced the cup in light unpredictable air in Newport and San Diego -- this 33/cup has been and is playing out to be sooo painful for everyone!
