Race 5 Morning

Good morning Blog.
We enjoyed a nice dinner with new friends last night from AUS 1117 - 7 P's.
"Proper Planning and Preparation Prevents Piss Poor Performance"
We are heading to the boat shortly to enjoy another beautiful day here in Perth and incredibly good racing against a very strong fleet of Etchell sailors. We are compensating for a full bottom section on the new mainsail and consequently sailing with more lower tension than we would normally feel comfortable with. With the holes around the race course we are occassionally starved for power but enjoy the ability to hold a lane and point - unlike race 1 and 2. It looks like we will have similar breeze today with the "Fremantle Doctor" expected to come in and build around 11:30am. We may need to put the running shoes on after racing as we have a weigh in tomorrow morning. The price we must pay for all of the good food and festivities we have enjoyed while at this regatta. All in all we are feeling good and have a great time. To the boat...
