Scorched by the Ghost Pepper
It was an exciting Day 3! Well, not so much. Today started off with no breeze and an AP ashore. After giving us updates every half hour, at 1 p.m. our PRO decided to call it for the day. With a gradient breeze from the north and a high-pressure system moving in from the southwest, the conflicting systems made for a very glassy body of water.
What to do on Key West for the rest of the day? Team Spaceman Spiff headed to Peppers of Key West for a free hot-sauce tasting. Now, after burning my lips off after sampling the hottest sauce in the world, made from the ghost pepper, I find myself back at the team house, trying to tame the flames.
The forecast for tomorrow looks a lot better, but we'll still see light air. The PRO moved the start time up one hour in an effort to run three races and get us back on schedule. I hope that's what happens. I can't take another day of hot sauce.
