Had more wind than in recent weeks (e.g, 11-12 knots), and from the northwest, rather than from the South. Further, the breeze built during the race!
Had a decent start, though not as close to the favored boat end as I should have. Not over the line, though. Decent tacks to start on our way from N to A, getting better as time went on. Good spin hoist, and decent jibe down. Angles weren't great, and took us a while to find the mark in the distance. Good douse and shift back into upwind mode. Pointing not as good upwind as it should have been, but decent final downwind run.
The after-race sunset watching, however, was spectacular!
