Jen Edney Photography- she did a magnificent job of shooting  the J/24s in the recent Regata Copa Mexico event in March.  She  dropped us a quick note since some of here girl friends in the area also  started sailing on J/24s in Valle de Bravo, Mexico.  Said Jen, "I had  the incredible opportunity to photograph two amazing female athletes.  Both Olympians, Tania Elias Calles and Lisa Ross. A top Mexican sailor,  Tania  just recently achieved a new Guinness Record for distance by  sailing by wind alone in a laser sailboat from Los Cabos to Riviera  Nayarit. Her next step is to sail from Cancun to Puerto Progreso in  2011, as part of her route to the Olympic Games in London in 2012. After  competing in the 2004 Olympics in Athens and the 2008 Olympics in  Beijing, Lisa is currently sailing and training full time, working  towards the goal of representing Canada at the 2012 Olympic Games. Their  coach, Rosie Chapman is an incredible athlete herself and is the new  Nova Scotia Sailing Team Coach. Rosie, is from the UK where she was a  member of the Great Britain national Sailing Team and has a number of  years of coaching experience. Cheers ladies!"
