Despite near gale force winds and torrential downpours, skipper Bret Moss, representing Hospice by the Sea, sailed to second place in the 2012 Hospice Regattas National Championship in St. Petersburg on April 22.
Team Fort Lauderdale, made up of Moss and Dalton Tebo, Karl Langefeld and Jason D’Agostino, competed to raise awareness and money for hospice care.
Moss is the also winner of the Miami to Key Largo mile race and the 110 mile Key Largo Steeplechase. “Sailing is like life,” he says. “You have to adjust your sails because you can’t always change the conditions.”
Forty years ago, Moss’ grandfather taught him how to sail. His participation in the regattas is Moss’ way of giving back for the compassionate hospice care his grandfather and his family experienced.
