The sailing at this regatta is fantastic!!
Everyday we leave the dock in 5-10 knots of breeze at about 9:45. The starting line is a quick 20 minutes sail outside the harbor. By the time the scheduled 11:00am start time has rolled around the breeze has built to about 15 knots and once it settles down we are off and racing. Temperatures are in the high 70's or low 80's. Sunshine is the norm, and the water is warm and CLEAR!! We are sailing around in 40 to 60 feet of water and can clearly see the bottom almost all the time. We need some more photo's taken from the air. The water color is amazing and hopefully we'll be able to capture some shots and show you.
We ended up with a finish of 32nd today which we were especially happy with because we made some good progress through the fleet at every mark. Earlier in the regatta we seemed to start well, and fall back at every mark of the race.
Perhaps we've turned a corner?? Perhaps not. Either way, we are still working hard to put in a good showing and we'll see how things turn out.
