Blast

Well, it was windy! Gusting up to 30 knots meant we seriously considered racing with the storm jib, but we went with the number 3 which turned out to be the right move. We even got the spinnaker up twice, although we took it down to jibe. We joined the first race of the day and lead from start to finish giving us another 1st place to add to our training record. Unfortunately the second race of the day was canceled due to the tide turning and kicking up the waves, but we'd got a good couple of hours of sailing in by then, (and bowman Andy had got nicely soaked!) so we called it a day. Now can't wait for August and Cowes Week!
