C22 WYC Series 1 Race 2

John is out to concentrate on a work project, so I picked up Christine from RazorBill.

Melissa on the helm, with the Chris' on the sheets.

Parking lot was really flooded:

Dock 8 on the left

You had to park your car and get out on the driver's side only!

Winds were a constant 12 knots from the east with gusts over 20.  Full main and #2.  Right amount of sail BUT were were overwelmed in the puffs.

Meliss, Chris, and Christine

At one point a gust came up, and Melissa instinctively turned the boat into the wind to get the boat back on its feet, but the jib backwinded and we did a 360.  You can see it on the track below.

I just hung out in the cabin doing aluminum can physiotherapy on my hand:

New this year is on race 2 and 4 of a series, they are sending a mark boat out with a tetrahedron, and we do a windward/leeward like most other clubs/regattas.

We were the only boat in our class; kinda a drag!

We had fun just the same and were in before most of the others.

Sorry, no sunset picture because there was no sunset.

My phone is having battery troubles with the RaceQs app:

Phone died after taking one picture with the tacking app the the background, so no 3D replay.
