The Lake Ontario Opti Team, or LOOT is one of a few teams that have been formed over the past fifteen years to help local Opti sailors grow in their knowledge of sailing and build advanced racing tactics that propel them to the top of the class. LOOT however is a bit different in that it is truely International in flavor. With sailors from Bermuda, Canada and the US, and Roberto Fabini, full-time opti coach from Uruguay.

Practice Week 2 at the McGranahan's
It's been a whirlwind several days with travel to Midwests, a successful regatta, return to Chautauqua (this time at our house) and two days of great wind for practice so far! The kids have successfully risen to the challenge of the complexities of launching from our property, and Roberto amazingly navigated the LOOT trailer up our driveway! They seem to be enjoying the sailing, playing on the water trampoline, kayaking and paddle boat, with the walk into town for ice cream (with the team mascot, our Newfoundland, Violet) being the biggest hit so far. All are interacting well, just like siblings! Hope to provide some pictures of the various activities soon.

Ok so I am thinking that everyone should watch "Cheaper by the Dozen" with Steve Martin just before the departure of our two youngest future looters this weekend. Would be a good laugh for everyone!
