Tuesdays with TFE: No show today; next show next week – same time, same channel

SAN DIEGO – We are going to take a holiday break today; the first Tuesday we've not done a full-on "Tuesdays with TFE" show since we started these in July (following on with the success of our live pre-race shows in June during the America's Cup). It's a bit more challenging technically to do these shows when not in our San Francisco studio, but still doable. It's more that the Cruising Yacht Club of Australia's signature event, the Rolex Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race which started yesterday, has taken up most of our time last evening and since early this morning, so there's not been enough time to properly prepare our regular Tuesday Facebook Live show. Actually doing the live show is the easy part; more difficult is the six to eight hours of prep involved.

Our Daily Digests have been very popular, and producing those, while not difficult, takes time as well. We'll have today's out in due course. Still waiting for a few tidbits for you.

Plus, your Ed. just needs a bit of a year-end break!

Of course, if there is breaking or cool news in the meantime that might justify a pop-up "Take Five with TFE" live show, we'll do that and of course let you know in advance.

In the meantime, here's trusting that all of our loyal and rapidly growing SAILING ILLUSTRATED community of readers and viewers are enjoying the Holiday Season, and best wishes to you and your families for a Happy, Healthy and Successful New Year!
