Winds were strong tonight, we
Winds were strong tonight, we must have had steady 15kt, gusting to 20. Here's the GPS track:
We did very well, considering that we muffed the 1st spinnaker set. The 'chute got caught inside the forestay. Poor Joe had to crawl out on the foredeck and clean it all up. by the time he had it all ready, it was too late to set it, so we saved it for the last down wind run. -- Rhetorical question of the evening was: "Joe, Where's the mark?!" Of course he was busy packing the damn chute... The second downwind run redeemed us! We were screaming along and almost caught the Nomad on scratch time.
These were following boats:
2 Day Sailers, 1 Lido 14, 1 Flying Junior, 1 Thistle, 1 Nomad, 1 Vanguard 15. A little lighter than normal but still a healthy fleet. The winds were a little screwy, we got puff, and gusts, and it was a bit annoying at the start but we got through it.
O, what Fun,Fun,Fun!!!
