Whitby Thursday single handed; three boats, Gruntled (C&C 29), Mickey (Shark 24), and me. Winds were light at the start, so the course was shortened 3 Short (triangle). Two foot waves and not much wind made for a tough beat the first mark. I was the first around the windward mark, and went out into the lake hoping for more breeze. while the others tacked immediately after the mark. Turned out being a bad decision mfor me, as the wind filled in and gave the other two boats the advantage to the next reaching mark, loosing my lead.
The C&C 29 pulled ahead in the breeze, which had picked up to 12 knots. We decided to make the course a non shorted short course.
Finished neck and neck with the Shark, but he gives me time.
