Although it looked like we'd have a T-storm right before our 6:15 start, radar models showed that we'd be fine, so we headed out and the RC set up a good race on Round Bay to start off the end of Long Point, at Mark V. We headed off in 5 mph winds from the South, and five minutes into the race the wind picked up to 15-18 with higher gusts as we were headed to the bottom of Round Bay, to mark C. We hugged the starboard shore, and in the lee of the headland we were no longer over-powered, so had a good run up to C. After rounding the mark, we had to decide to go wing and wing or put up the spinnaker. After about 100 yards, we launched the spin, and hung on. The wind had moderated to around 10-12, so we had a good run down to A, sailing low angles and only having to jibe twice. Dropped the spin and had a good rounding at A, and then lost much of our wind as we headed up to C. Decent run back to A from C, coming over the line in the middle of the fleet.
