We’ve been going to this venue every year since 2008. The first DDTW was in 2007. Upper Keys Sailing Club really knows how to put on a great show.
The regatta is unlike most you’ll attend throughout the year. The format is somewhat conventional. We have a distance race Friday evening, and two days of buoy racing on Saturday and Sunday, but that’s where conventional stops.
First of all…your in Key Largo…in January. Everywhere else in the country you’re likely to be cracking ice out of your boat…and for me I had to dig the snow out to get my boat from the driveway to get there.
Key Largo January sailing is AWESOME! It was ‘cold’ when we were there. Friday afternoon was 80 ish degrees and Saturday/Sunday was a chilling 70. When the wind blows, hold on for a great ride. When it doesn’t, sit back and relax in crystal clear tropical water, catch a fish from the dock, go snorkeling off the clubhouse beach.
The club members greet you like family, (the good you know, like your favorite cousin you only get to see a few times a year, not your brother who still owes you $50 from Christmas and won’t pay up
