C22 Whitby Doublehanded Race

John and Melissa were unavailable, so I went out singlehanded.

First thing I had to do was fix the electrical connector for the autohelm.  Took a little bit, but got it fixed.  Full racing main and light #1.

Winds were light 3-7 knots from the south, course was set at two triangles 1-5-7-1-5-7-1.

Was the first whitesail boat to the windward mark, not too far behind Berserk.  Really got the boat going upwind well.  Didn't fare as well on the reaching legs however, as IRIS overtook me.

Finished a couple of minutes behind IRIS (Catalina 25)  and 30 seconds behind White Out (Viking 28).

UPDATE: won the race on corrected time by 7 seconds over IRIS.
1st of 5 boats in whitesail
2nd of 8 boats overall with only Road Trip! beating me.

Trip Odometer: 9.62 miles
Moving Average: 3.3 knots
Moving Time: 02:56:00
