1st race, 1st place

Left the marina in the rain at 0930 this morning, prepared for a cold, wet sail. Rain stopped before the start, leaving a light wind, which pete used to our advantage to get what cowes radio described as the best start of thieves day! We held the lead for most of the race, only letting loveshack past while heading for home as the wind got up. Finished the race less than 1 minute behind loveshack in 28 knot winds, and won the race on corrected time!

As we came 2nd in our 1st race last year, and came 2nd overall, we're taking a 1st place as very good omen!
