Chester Race Week, Secret Team Dinners, Drugs & Pastors, & New Bon Iver

Happy Wednesday !

I missed last week because I was home for the week, and trying to spend as much time as possible on the water.

Part of that was producing daily highlight videos for Chester Race Week with my brothers and some friends. You can view those here.

Which brings me to the first thing this week...

Video We Created: Young Blood Skipper Larry Creaser

This video is one of the most special I've ever been part of producing. The Creasers are family friends, and Larry has been battling progressive MS for years. This video is about his journey to getting back on the water, and touches on all the best parts of sailing - family, teamwork, and the joy of being on the water. Our friend Gavin from threesixfive did an awesome job on the edit.

You can view all the highlight videos from Chester Race Week here.
