Another great day on the water. Today we had a forcast of 15 knots from the west. we had a coastal course of around 25 nautical miles. we had a great start and headed upwind to the first of 4 islands we were racing around. We sailed the first leg very well staying ahead of the bigger yachts. We hoisted our big gennaker and headed off downwind.
the crew work was great and we got the boat rocking down the waves. We had a couple of little wipeouts at the bottom of the run but nothing too major. we rounded the last island and headed for the finish. We ripped the gennaker in the last hoist of the day but regathered to finish 4th.
In the 2nd race of the day we had a shockerstart almost hitting the commitee boat, then at the top we had spinnaker issues gybing issues and the breeze built to 20 knots. we never recovered and were lucky to hold onto 4th.
