On Friday we had the opportunity to fill in for Harold and skipper Island Dreamer as the race committee boat for the Melges 24 Regatta hosted by the Miami Yacht Club. The Race Committee boat carries the race judges and is responsible for anchoring at the start/finish line and carrying all of the equipment necessary for the race including flags, floats, buoys, time boards, sound signals, etc. 

Overall there were 20 Melges that were competing from all over the world, including Germany, Italy, Canada, and the United States.
