Thank you so much for your generous funding that allowed me to travel to Miami, Florida to race in the Orange Bowl International Youth Regatta hosted by Coral Reef Yacht Club. I had so much fun with teammates and other sailors during my week there. The conditions varied significantly. The first day was fairly light wind; the second day was medium wind; the third day had gusts of 17 knots; and the last day had almost no wind. I did not sail as well as I hoped on the last two days, but I definitely learned a lot from my mistakes. Thank you so much for allowing me to have this amazing experience!
