First Race of the year

First race with Stooges for the year last night

Light wind

T course

Start 1-3-Finish

Started about middle of the pack.  Had good upwind leg and rounded the mark around 3 - had a quick  uppage and I mean quick jibe and saildouse.  Within 30 seconds fast for all activity.

We were about 3

Couple went to Oregon and made out really well.  Current was strong - really good idea

We went up the middle because that is where the wind was.  We jockeyed around on the downwind leg and were actually DFL for awhile

Denny stomped his feet a lot.  Inaction as far as tactics is hard sometimes.

We rounded the mark around 6 and finished around 6.  Great takedown.

Always next week.

Mo called later in the week.  Didn't feel like was anything short of something drastic to improve his position and that is why it was best to hang tight.  I agree with that tactic even though it hurts at the time.

The fact that there is a highway to hell and a stairway to heaven is an indication of the traffic.
