Key West Race Week Photo Information: http://www.leightonoconnor.com/contact_key_west.shtml Today I got a chance to go a practice ride on Decision before the start of Key West Race Week. Decision is a Carkeek 40 owned and skippered by the father and son Murray team. Stephen Junior says he is up against some stiff competition for the week and hopes to stay out in front and get to those weather marks first to stay out of the bad air. Thanks for giving me some time at the helm Stephen. Not much breeze today but it was still good to be sailing today in somewhat sunny Key West. Hopefully the conditions will be fresh and frightening this week. Best of luck! Video by Leighton O'Connor: http://www.leightonoconnor.com Music by Autumn Above: http://www.autumnabove.com

As we get ready to ship Kyle off to the Marines I have been reflecting on what fun I have had with this absolutely wonderful person over the years. These photos are just a glimpse of so many fun times with my children and my best friends. It may look a little fake and a good editing job with all the smiles but truly my life with these kids has been a real fairy tail. Nothing but joy. What great kids. I am truly blessed to have these three wonderful people in my life. Enjoy!
