Santeria Newcastle Last Thursday Race

Last Thursday night race.

Neil was asking for crew because there was going to be tons on north wind tonight.
I couldn't because of a board meeting for the WYC nomination committee.

I talked with John Berry after work, and he said to go, race, we can do the nomination committee stuff after you get back.

Neil, Peter, and I, full main and #1.

Winds were lighter than the forecast from the NW, about 10 knots with gusts close to 20.
Four boats.

We got the boat moving really well.  We were 30 seconds late on the start, but still crossed the line before everyone else.  We made sure we got windward of Cajun on the first leg, and led the race the entire 5 legs of the triangle.

Santeria a 24 foot boat beat the 34/32/26 foot boats out there.
Perfect conditions for her.

Love sailing with Neil and Peter.
