Went into AP shortly after getting out in the harbor due to commercial traffic. Waited out the ships and had a clean downwind start. Had some trouble with our spinnaker hardware during the downwind legs and got stuck behind a ship altering our course. We were able to make some gains on the long upwind run to the finish and got a close-up view of the navy ships at their dock. Overall a challenging race for the boat and crew and a reminder that anything that can happen will happen.
