Weds. Night Tune up #1

Well at least we made the start. At 5:15, the life-lines still weren't attached. I forgot the spinnaker and had to borrow one from Bengt.

The Race:

The course was between a mobile mark set along the southern shore of the bay and "T". At the start the breeze was 6-9 out of the east. We started, poorly, about mid-line in Factory Girl's gas. Slice started clean farther down the line. We tacked to clear and separated from Magic and Factory Girl; partly due to the right shift and partly due to boat speed.

We were slow down wind. Factory Girl and Magic caught up. Slice legged out. We managed to round just inside of Magic. As the breeze went right, things looked okay.

The bottom fell out. The breeze shifted so far to the right, that the boats on the left, Magic and Factory Girl, made the mark in pressure; meanwhile we set the chute and drifted down to the mark, DFL.

The crew work was pretty good. We sailed with 11:
Aaron, Bob, Scott, Pavel, Brian, Vicki, Neil, Jim Mack, Charlotte & me.
